Having used aerotwin's before, I knew how great they would be over the standard wipers. Got a massive problem with wiper chatter!! It's driving me mad....I've polished the windshield with little improvement. Recorded a quick video - www.youtube.com/watch?...e=youtu.be The passenger side in particular seems to be making a the most noise. The wiper arms are nice and tight - not loose. I did loosen them a little, however it made no difference whatsoever. It's driving me mad!!

very_452001	Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 2:05 pm    Post subject: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? ok i got the blades replaced. No need for applause I notice that 90% of driver side lenth of the bosch blade is making contact with the windscreen which means that 10% isnt. These bosch AR530S aerotwins, are both of these blades exactly the same or is one blade specific to passenger side, driver side etc.? Theres no indication in the instructions.

Different linkages on the early models mean different wiper blade lengths. As for fitting it is a straight forward 30 second job. No tools required. Unclip the old one from the wiper arm and put the new one in its place. It's easier than changing a bulb, although some people make a meal out of that too. Its a 06 plate

Used them on the old fiesta and the pug, never failed me once! The old set lasted me until I wrote off the fiesta and i've had the ones on the 206 for about 8 months now, they're just the same as when i put them on
