Don't know what size you need, but they are supposed to be better because the pressure is spread over the whole length of the wiper, so it sweeps against the screen surface more effectively.

We need some for the Corrado (I think it's a common modification) because the windscreen wipers lose contact with the windscreen if you drive at speed (and it's not really a car you want to drive slowly ;D). At the moment you can't see where you're going if you're driving quickly in the rain.

Don't know - to be honest my windscreen wipers are great, and I haven't considered replacing them :D

I assume so they say universal

Think it's just a case of getting the right size for your car as you would at hellfrauds
Ain't tried a set just found them this morning while looking for an oil pressure gauge for the van
They're made of rubber so i think they must assume the shape of the windshield

I thought to fit these you needed to change the wiper arms too?

^^^^^^^^^As Daryl said you only have to measure the width of your existing wipers and buy the same length and i believe it says they come with a load of adapters most cars have the clip on type anyway don't they?

I'd offer but my wipers go in the opposite direction and are different lengths.
