Need new wiper blades

[jpmondalek]

Where have you been getting yours?

Would love to avoid my main dealer.

Is it model specific (i.e. another Eurospares order), or are these things universal?

Cheers!

Hi,

I think this one has been around many times before and although there are less expensive options available I had mine recently replaced by real Maserati blades and they are much better than the flinsey things that were on the car when I bought it. Cheap alternatives may be a false economy.

Jp, I would agree with Garry_c...
I bought cheap flat ones - didn't like them
I bought 'reasonable priced' bosch ones - didn't like them
I bought the real ones - hey presto! wish I had done that first...
Regards,
Enzo.

when you mean real ones do you mean eurospares or main dealer?

I too am going through this process and may well come to the same conclusion as Gary and Enzo. I don't like the wipers on the car, they squeal incessantly and are pretty dated technologically'. The flat blades and wiper arms on the newer Alfa's are a much neater solution. I am going to try the Alfa arms and wipers and see how I get on, but if they don't work, I'll replace the arms and wipers with OEM's from Eurospares.

I just went to main dealer's parts dept and picked up a set...slightly more than EuroSpares, so I did it.
