Wiper blades - 2017 Tig

**smarty** · 24-08-2022, 07:43 PM

What does everyone else use? I’ve always used the genuine ones. Seems that aftermarket are the same price if not more than genuine VW ones? Also the aftermarket look abit more bulky on the connector side that factory ones that click in? Am I being silly and missing something? If you run non genuines, can you show what they look like fitted? Thanks

Ive tried the Bosch and Valeo replacements, but currently am using the Wipertech blades on both my cars and they are the best (out of the ones ive tried) in my opinion.

Thanks for that, handy to know.
Mind popping a pic up so I can see how they fit/look over the vw ones?

Here you go. They look just like the factory blades. They will no doubt be having a sale in the next week or so for fathers day so perhaps hold off for a few days. They normally take $10 off or offer free shipping.

And at 10.01am I got an email from Wipertech with their fathers day sale offer. $10 off and free express post.

Yeah they look great. Almost identical. The ones that I have looked at look huge and bulky and ****. Might give those bad boys a run

Before I retired I worked for a VW parts supplier and had Bosch and Valeo blades available at cost. I had no issue with Bosch on my Golf and Polo until a few years back when a set shuddered from new. Tried Wipertech and silent from day 1. Thought I'd give Bosch another try after a year and instant shuddering. Replaced with Wipertech and again silent from install. I guess what I'm saying is I'd recommend you give Wipertech a try. (Screen or arms was not an issue.)
