Default Just my two penneth...

I had some Michelin 'aero-style' wipers...

Michelin MSW12922 Stealth Hybrid Wiper 55 cm
Michelin MSW12921 Stealth Hybrid Wiper, 53 cm

... which lasted for 4 years but they sometimes juddered on the windscreen and I was looking to replace the pair recently as the nearside wiper rubber had separated and was leaving a 2 inch wide strip on the windscreen.

I opted for the Bosch AR22U (driver's side) and AR21U (passenger side). These are probably the easiest wiper blades to fit, as they come with a press/snap fit cover. The only caveat is that the passenger-side wiper blade is not in contact with the windscreen for the last inch or so when in the parked position. I've only just fitted them yesterday but they do wipe beautifully. Perhaps that naughty passenger side wiper blade will gradually shape to the contours of the windscreen over time.
