2012 Model rear wiper blades

Does anyone know which type of rear wiper blade works with the 2012 model. I cant seem to find one other than going to the dealer and paying their price!

Hi, can't remember which one I got exactly but I took my old one into halfords and they matched it to a Bosch one. Was considerably cheaper than the one from the dealers.

I bought this a few weeks ago: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-acce...mp;cc5_165

Was < £3 when I got it. No comparison to dealer price Rolling Eyes and I don't think Valeo is even a bad brand. Make sure you reserve it online first because instore price might be different.

Regarding fitment, I had to use the insert from my old wiper blade. Couldn't figure out how to fit the adapter supplied with the Valeo one. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I recently change all of my wiper to Michelin Stealth from Advanced Factors, very happy with these.

I've tried to get the Valeo V41 to fit with the old insert but it aint having it!! Was it a very tight fit? Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Yes, it was tight but after it went in for the first time I had no issues in taking it out and fitting again.

I used a Bosch one from Halfords on my previous 2009 RRS (I think it should be the same as 2012/2013 but not sure). That was also a bit tricky but don't remember much as it was over 3 years ago. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
