I can't get one for the rear in that style, the fitting is different... though it might be modifiable to fit. I'll play and see how I go...

Clarence maybe you can check if there is a Supercheap in Japan :lol:

I just use metal backed refills in the stock blades plus use RainX additive in the washer bottle. Works great.

Still great - just make sure that you buy new stock, not ones that have been on display for yonks!

That's what happened to me. Everytime I drove and it rained, I was like "damnit, gotta change my wipers!!" :evil:, then got home, turned the car off, not raining the next few days and I'd completely forgot... Only to be pissed on again and realise I still hadn't changed the blades! In the end, I set a reminder on my phone for one Sat morning so I wouldn't forget! LOL.

What about the rear blades on the wagon?

Looks as though you can only change the insert.

Anybody in Sydney recently tried to get these???
Went to Supershit Villawood and Bankstown, which are pretty big stores and neither size combo was available (600+450 or 550+500) and was told (at Bankstown) that they are getting rid of Bosch and what they have on display is it
Went to Autobarn Bankstown which is a smaller store and they did not have any Bosch at all
Ideas on stockists?

Haven't looked in a while but when I got mine, it was at the (Super Cheap Arse) Auburn store. I tried half a dozen others between Strathfield and Auburn and that store was the only one that had them.
