Look guys - who gives a monkies f*** about where they are made.

Mine are main dealers and cost me less than 30 quid with VOC discount and have wiped fine and dandy since beginning of January and show no sign of let up.

I had Valeo on my Saab 9-5 and found them excellent even at speeds in excess of 130 mph (on autobahn your honor). They cost me about 25 quid for both.....................

Subjective really as all depends on how you use them as well............do you always squirt first (no innuendos please) and then wipe or just wipe.............

Whilst on the subject of clear screens - who has found a screen wash with the anti fungal stuff in to save smelling like cats pi** all the while. I've tried loads and just end up every so often cleaning the lots out with sterident!

Just bought myself some genuine Volvo flat blades today, and for anybody who is interested they are made by champion

And as you can see, both have the same connectors

Champion

That was all very entertaining. For anyone who's interested in an OEM quality flatblade, I've a quantity of GM Opel blades that will exact-fit facelift S60s passenger side. Now, the aerofoil is the wrong way around, but I've driven at speeds slightly in excess of the UK speed limit and they're perfectly fine. They'll also fit drivers side but they'd be about an inch too short, again not a serious issue. £8 each posted. Anyone interested?
