Reply With QuoteGot my Bosch ones from Courtenay Sports.
Anybody have any suggestions where to get some retrofit flat blade wipers from (for my Astra).
http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/ have them for the astra for ~$25 with free shipping, but they are a generic brand..
Anyone know of another place that sells Bosch or Valeo retrofits with a fair shipping charge?

Yeah checked there. Wipers were cheap, but shipping alone was $25, as much as the total shipped price from http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/.Originally Posted by guy 27

Also got my Bosch wipers from Courtenay's. Used some of the member points that I had so these were "free".
The price of the Bosch Wipers are ok.. ~$35, shipping will be $25..
I'm using generic inserts at the moment... $7 for a pair, has lasted 2 years so far fine.
There shouldn't be too much of a difference between the bosch and generic, they are afterall just rubber.
There was a test between the bosch aero twins & other brands, including generic.... nothing much between them... how you treat your wipers blades will determine how long they last more so than the brand themselves...
I thought I may try the flat blade ones, as winter is approaching and my wiper arms are 8 years old and best days are behind..

Steve,
You want the Bosch Aero Twin for £27.50 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOSCH-AERO-RET...a6ded3db#shId_) or the ABD ones http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/ABD...ack-20-19.html for £15.07
The ABD ones have free shipping, so if you want, I've order them first and let you know how they are.
If you prefer the Bosch, I'll ask them if they will offer discounted shipping if we buy more than one set.
