Windscreen Wipers Skipping / Shuddering / Squeaking

It can't be public? I wouldn't mind knowing too as mine on the brand new car were noisy (it was raining the day I got the car).

If a brand new car, talk to your dealer.

Guys, just another quick bump - are we talking about the Bosch A980S as the replacement for the Golf MKVI front rubber wipers? About to place an order just waiting on model confirmation =D

Hi All, I've got a MkVI Golf GTI and need new blades (3 years old now). I have found the Bosch Aeroblade A980S online from plenty of UK sellers (600mm/475mm) but none of them can ship to Australia except wiperblades.co.uk.

Does anyone have experience with them and are they reputable? Are the blades right for the Golf Mk6?

Has anyone bought their generic brand instead of the Bosch ones? Looks like the branded ones can be delivered here for around AU$42.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Nothing but good experience with wiperblades.co.uk but that is my personal experience.
I have ordered with them twice now and would order from them again. Got a new set of Bosch aeroblades for the MkV recently and I am very happy with the purchase and service. Again, my personal experience.

Regards,
NS

I have, and they are.

Are the (Bosch A980S) blades right for the Golf Mk6?

Yes. They also have their own brand that will fit that are less expensive.

I bought the Bosch A980S AeroTwins, AUD$35 delivered, don't forget to deduct VAT from the prices shown on their web site. Allow at least two weeks for delivery if you opt for normal post. You can pay extra if you're really desperate to get them in a hurry.

FYI Super Cheap Auto were selling equivalent Tridon blades at AUD$35 each.

I must agree. Nanolex works. no need for wipers on the freeway. Repels water like magic. also means your original/current wipers will last longer.

Even better than RainX is Nanolex Glass Sealant, doesn't have the issues of RainX and lasts longer.

I've tried RainX and liked it but it doesn't last very long. May be I should try Nanolex.

What are you guys using, and where did you get them? One of mine is getting in pretty bad shape and needs to be changed.
