MK2 wiper blades - Aerotwin front and back?

[Cossie-boy]

Hi all

Picked up the new car yesterday and more than happy with it...apart from the awful scrapping noise from the front and rear wiper blades!

I changed the ones on my MK1 FR to Aerotwins but think these are 26" both sides on MK2?

Any suggestions pleeeease?

Cheers

26" both sides, Valeo silencio seem to get the majority nod

Thank you mate, and 11" on rear? seems to judder front AND back!

Valeo Silencio front wipers aren't great on mine, very squeaky and juddery.

I swapped from Bosch to Valeo Silencio because the Bosch ones were awful and noisy. The Valeo ones are 100% better and silent.

Are you lads getting this on the rear as well?

Mine seems to do it front n back!

I had Aerotwin oon my MK1 n found them ok, maybe the odd noise n smear

Little confused as found the rear A28IH 11" £6.36 on carparts4less incl delivery

But the fronts seems to vary, I've seen APU26U but some said hook fit n know these are pinch fit

Going to try these next. The Valeo ones I have now are terrible

I've got squeaky front ones, but being a pre facelift.. I changed the rear arm to take the aero blade rear one, not only does it sweep quietly but the rubber doesn't lift off the glass at the top, leaving a dirty patch

Best £20 I've spent on the car, though the arm did need modifying for the washer to work courtesy of a 6mm drill bit.. As the post facelift has it's washer in the brakelight

Fitted valeo ones yesterday and they are spot on. Couldn't be better.
