Rear Wiper Blade - Which Ones Work Well?

[alanfp]

Just bought a Bosch blade (16" - traditional design). It doesn't touch the glass at the top of its sweep - it can't bend enough to match the curvature of the window. (Mark 2 model)

 

Is the Valeo any good? or Halfords? or am I going to have to go to the stealer to be sure of one that works properly?

The one I bought from a dealer (original part) for a Mk1 was rubbish - wont be persuaded to touch the windscreen at the top.

 

One of those new fangled flexi design types(dont have a metal frame) would probably be better.

I managed to find a normal fit blade but similar to the Bosch Aero blades. Works well. Even Ford could not supply one that worked properly.

Sadly not mate, I have one of the plastic ones and its just as crud as the Ford original - possibly even worse as the plastic prevents it being bent adjusted to fit. :lol:
