Wiper recommendations.....

Hi guys!

Has anyone got any wiper recommendations?
I've just about had enough of juddering noisy scraping blades even when wet.
If it goes on much longer I'll be doing the Basil Fawlty impression with a branch!

Will silicon jobbies be a good investment?

Gaz I was born with a photographic memory. Shame it didn't develop!

2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Bali Blue

I got a set from eBay,,,, aero something they were called can't quite remember the full name, front and rear for around the 20 quid mark and they are superb. No scratching or scraping, even on a dry screen, 100% improvement on what was fitted, they also are stamped as being a lucas part. Can't go wrong for the price I think. Landrover wanted 60 quid for the front!. 2010 RRS, TDV8
bali Blue / colour coded
side steps / flappy paddles
black perforated leather
22" overfinch
heated everything, TV,fridge ...... now with gold calipers and mud flaps !( black mud flaps that is) !!
Many years ago,,,,, 1955 series 1 landie , sometimes wish I had kept it

If you are getting wiper "slap" noise, it could be a twisted RH wiper arm rather than the blade. Swopped my wiper arm and silence returned.

They are only £10 and all the info is on the Disco 3 sister site.

Thanks, I get the "slap noise'everytime my blades speed up. sounds the the blade is hitting the metal when it isn't. changed blades but it still happens. Will try your solution
