Bobbeh Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Just curious if anyone can supply (with a price), wiper blades and heads for both front and rear windscreen arms. Thanks. Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I got mine from Halfords (the front 2 come in a pack and the rear one separately). With my mate's discount, they only cost about £17 for all 3. Should have been about £25 without, so not too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Who's make are the Halfords blades ? are they any good as I need 2 for the supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've had Halfords ones in the past, and they've not lasted 12 months. Pretty poor quality. Only thing is Toyota want all three for £63 quid fitted, thought it was a bit pricey but that's the whole unit.. maybe I'm expecting things like that to still be in the 90's prices lol.

Josh Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Who's make are the Halfords blades ? are they any good as I need 2 for the supra They're Bosch ones. My front ones were "jumping" pretty badly across the screen and these new ones are perfect. The sizes aren't listed at Halfords so I ended up with the wrong ones (my mate that works there just got them for me and when I changed them, he'd given me mkiii sizes), but once changed, they're perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I brought some aero ones 6 months or so ago on eBay. If you want I'll try digging up the details but used them on my previous Supra for 2 years. They work really well, get a clean quiet wipe on the screens & plus they make the car look much more modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If you watch he Quest channel on Freeview they have a tour of the Bosch wiper factory and development centre, and it's damned impressive. They throw a lot of technology at these things. Having said that modern blades don't seem to last as well as those from the seventies and eighties, and I am told it's because there's less natural latex in them, to save the bl**dy trees or some such Green nonsense. You can buy a rubber plant in any garden centre.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
