im on the hunt for bosch but they seem quite rare atm!


I put the Trident wipers on the wife's car and they work well especially when new. They don't seem to last as long as Bosch but I'm not conducting a proper science experiment here so I could be wrong.

I have 600 and 450 myself. Would recommend sticking to the OEM sizing unless you have a reason not to.

As is Murphy's law, the minute I finally change my wiper blades it's stops raining!! I've been driving around with shitty blades for the last 3 weeks with heaps of rain..

I've only washed my windscreen with the Tricos so far, and they are excellent. They're not available in 600mm so went for 610mm and 475mm and to be honest I'll probably trim the 10mm off the 610, they come very close to the edge on the top of the windscreen.

Can report more once it decides to rain again. Oh and they were $55 for the pair.

Might not be the cheapest option but Harold generally stocks them (in Melbourne) and you can have them in a few days. He's very good to deal with too, spoken by someone who may have screwed up the order the first time round :-)

These are the euro part numbers so the part numbers you want are AR19u (475mm) and AR24u (600mm). Perfect fit on the MY05.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BOSCH-AEROTW ... 1465wt_911 (a 600/450 combo is also listed)
http://stores.ebay.com.au/haroldperformancelub



is this BBA 550 and BBA 500 ?


The ones i had would be the equivalent of the 475 & 600.

Make sure you buy the flexible beam blade ones, and I bought 610mm and 475mm.

TEC610 and TEC475 should do the trick, however before installing cut 10mm off the drivers side one
