Wiper Blades Replaced

[Kevlar GT]

I just got my set of these (a month after I initially set out to do it) and the bonus was that as Stupid Cheap are getting rid of these they were down to $16 a set. Stupid thing on my part was that I only got one set ! Didn't dawn on me until I was half way home and I couldn't be stuffed turning back.

Got to be happy with how easy they are to replace as well, less than 2 minutes to change both blades.

Im rocking Bosch Twin Aero's And Ive had nothing but good experience with them
Price is steep, but I would definately recommend them. (I worked at a hardware store
that sold them, and I got them cheaper at the time when I bought them... Since left though... Shouldve stocked up...)

Damn my wiper blades are finally starting to chatter and I thought I'd get some of these, but it appears Supercheap have removed all of their Bosch wiper blades/refills from their range???

They have another brand called Tridon with a similar product called Flexblade. They are $33.00 per blade though

Weren't the Bosch going for $20 per blade? Anyone buy them recently and can advise where from and how much?

I could not find the Bosch for love nor money for the last 3 months and ended up buying the Tridon..........although have not dealt with a downpour yet they seem to do a good job and easy to install
And they would F***ing want to at about 65 bucks a screen!

I think Supercheap were running them out. I picked up a spare set for my car for $18 just in time.

I've just received a Supercheap Auto "stocktake sale" flyer in the letterbox tonight, and they have the Tridon Flexblade wipers on special for $24.98 each right now.

Hey Ric when is that sale starting? Def not on at the moment as I was there on Fri they were the full $33.xx price.

[Ric]

The flyer only arrived tonight.
I just spotted in small print "sale starts 26/12/09" and "sale ends 31/12/09".

Thanks for the heads up I'll wait until boxing day; I don't see deluges of rain being a problem until then

I got mine a few months back when Super Cheap had a clearance on all their wiper blades. I scored them for $6 bucks per blade bargain!

Repco now have a similar wiper under their own brand. They are on special for $30 pair right now.

Excellent, thanks Ric!
Will pick up some newies today/tomorrow

Can anyone confirm the sizes? I'm thinking a 600/500 combo based on the first few pages, is this correct? (or 450 passenger if they make it, but they may not?)

[smythie]

hmm, might have to find myself a Repco shop.

I got 600mm and 475mm. Slightly oversized for a full sweep.

Still annoyed the rear wiper can't be used on it, the mounting is slightly different... not to mention no place seems to sell them at 400mm. Might have to modify one to fit

That's what I got for mine too.

Hotwire,

A quick check of the 1 page, 2nd post, from Sentinel, indicated that the OEM sizes are 600 and 450. I still have my 550 and 500 and still going strong!

Kind Regards,

Mark.
