Are these like the PIAA wiper blades with no springs, just the wiper rubber which is silicon?I'm looking to get a new set of blades. My current pair have no spoilers and have a habit of lifting off the screen  :.________________________________________ Ex Owner of 2000 Phase 3 306 GTi 6 China Blue - You shall be missed1974 Triumph Stag 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD Lusso 2005 Mondeo Ghia X 3.0 Estate LPG |

And no, they're not the same as the PIAA silicon wipers (which are the mutt's nuts)  ________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. Project é - my 306 project thread. |

I have bought a set of the Valeo ones in the end, and besides the passenger one I am very happy with them.The passenger one misses out the very edge of the windscreen. It's annoying but I ain't too bothered since the tax disc is there anyway! But flat blades I discovered after fitting are made for flat screens as found on many new cars, where the Pug curves at the end. Besides that I'm a happy man with them. I'll get a pic soon. ________________________________________ Ex Owner of 2000 Phase 3 306 GTi 6 China Blue - You shall be missed1974 Triumph Stag 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD Lusso 2005 Mondeo Ghia X 3.0 Estate LPG |

I would be interested to know what the verdict is on PIAA silicone wipers Vs the XOPC Extreme Silicone wipers...Has anyone got experience with both?I'm fed up with the standard fit Bosch jobbies as they can't deal with cold weather, way too rigid at low temperatures, so dont actually clear the screen properly! |
