I had Bosch wipers on my Saxo. They were quite good, better than the Halfords Specials.

tip - when they are starting to clean poorly, wipe them with a cloth with vinegar and it makes them work properly again

I have them, but genuine Vauxhall ones for a Corsa C. They fit no problems, all you have to do is move the drivers side wiper up a notch on the spline. They cost £24.50!

The flatblade system is very good imho. I don't know how long they'll last, but at 70mph, I used the washer jets, and it was like I wasn't moving i.e. streak free etc.

Check CorsaCF's car for the genuine Vauxhall ones.

On the side facing the driver on the GM ones, it has a white GM logo to look at though

He is getting Bosch ones, which are supposed to be good. But I agree, GM ones all the way. At 70mph with a clear screen, £24.50 is worth it imho.

Nothing worse than rain & spray, and not being able to see.

When this is a little bit of water on the screen, like drizzle, they also clear, not smear

ordered some of these from Vauxhall Accessories yesterday lunch time, and they arrived today at work for my Corsa C

Opinion - Vauxhall ones are well worth the money
