V70 Body/Trim: - "aero wiperblades"

chris810 · Dec 16th, 2008, 22:00

I have a 55 plate XC70 and I find i need new wiper blades ,they are the one piece plastic ones and the last set I bought were a horrendous price from the dealers ( about £80.00 ) so can anyone advise of a cheaper alternative make ect, I do like to look out of the windscreen so I would need good/quality, any ideas ?

I was rather surprised at the cost too. Ended up buying a set from Halfrauds for about 45 quid, although they were own brand the quality seems to be good - I would guess they're made by one of the major brands anyway.

Sounds like your dealer's ripping you off. When I bought a set of these for my V70 about 12 months ago, I paid a dealer about £30 (that was after a few percent of VOC members' discount).

£80.00 thats disgusting, shop around i would try ebay first look for a decent make trico,bosch, if i were looking for top quality ones £25.00 max, i only paid £24.00 (genuine) from fiat for the scudo and one of them is massive (long) good luck,cam.

Just ordered a rear "aero/one peice" blade which are unusually U shaped until you apparently put them on. £5 inc postage. Il let you know quality once its recieved.
