Default Bosch Aerotwin retro fit kit

Just fitted a set of the new Bosch Aerotwin retro fit sets to the S and I must say, they're excellent. The set I went for were the AR533S (VW GOLF 1991>1999) 530 & 475mm, which are a little wider than the S 508 & 406mm traditional wipers.

A few observations:-

- the 'wipe' is up to and better than the usual Bosch standard
- at speed they make less of a swish sound, to the point of being silent
- looks wise, the lower profile better complement the long bonnet

I bought from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/CrystalClear-WiperBlade-Shop and was very impressed at the speed of delivery and excellent packaging. They also have a website http://www.crystalclearwiperbladeshop.co.uk

Here a few photos....

I don't know, try and post something useful and all you get is abuse.

Don't know why I bother sometimes.

That's true. They seem to degrade very quickly probably from exposure to UV.

Great when they're new.
