Wiper blade recommendations

[pipsyp]

Hi folks,

 

Sorry, do appreciate if I look hard enough on here I will likely find the answers, but I really want to replace the front and rear wiper blades on my 2008 AH10 ASAP as the fronts smear a gooden and the rear is shot to bits.

 

Id preference Bosch Aerotwins for the front (look a bit more modern) and a regular rear.  Can anyone point me to the ones that'll be an exact fit?

 

Know the Aerotwins will need to be the ones that work with hook type arms, but there seems to be conflicting info on the net for the blade lengths required.

 

Much appreciated guys!

For ah10, you need 26" and 16" for front, 16" rear

 

That's the sizes from factory. 

Some people fit 28, but you risk hitting edge of glass.

Hi pipsyp,

Just to add, we replaced our rear wiper blade with a Bosch, No. 3 397 013 431 (400mm/16") - also known as an SP16

£17 for the front pair. Very pleased with them. They work silently!

Hi. 26" and 16" front. 16" rear.

You can't get them all the time, but the ones they sell in Lidl are good when in stock. I bought 2 sets last time they were in.

They are good quality. I can't remember the make at present, but a good make also much cheaper than car shops!

Hi,

Discussions, recommendations, suppliers etc. were covered by myself and others last year. Like myself you probably find difficulty in finding old topics. I find the only way is to keep searching or give up and sort myself.

Thanks all!  I ordered all the relevent Bosch items from Halfrauds and all good.

 

They are indeed AR26U, AR16U for front and H409 for the rear.  SP16 I am sure works too on rear but H409 is essentially an OE like replacement (SP16 looks to be an old style frame wiper like what is normally on the fronts).  Hope this helps someone down the line!

Hi all,

 

Our 2005 AH10 G Facelift, アビー has just had her first set of replacement blades since she came to us.

After doing several searches online, we found a company that specialises in identifying blades for non-UK models.  In our case we wanted to keep the original front blade design so that アビー maintained her original looks.

 

I can now confirm that the following blades will fit:

 

Front, Bosch Super Plus, SP16 = 16" or 400mm Passenger side.

Front, Bosch Super Plus, SP26 = 26" 0r 650mm Drivers side.

Rear, Bosch Rear, H409 = 16" or 400mm

Had problems with the Bosch ones they don’t clear windscreen properly drivers side miss in places read somewhere else Bosch changed the rubber supplier and it’s cheap rubbish since changing to denso have never had any problems
