I needed some wiper blades, again! I seem to get through loads on the Coupe!
I've had Bosch ones, Ebay ones, etc and none of them seem to last very long.
I looked on Ebay last night and the cheapest I saw were a fiver, but I couldn't be bothered waiting for delivery.
I went to Home Bargain today and got some from there.
£1.99 each cool
For those who want cheap blades for other cars, they come with 4 adapters, but the Coupe is fine with what's already on them cool

Just thought I'd let you all know, especially if you're on a budget or need quick replacements cool

For £3.98 a pair, who cares if they only last a few months laugh

Only annoying thing is that you can see a hole in the plastic, which is obviously designed for the other adapters, although the hole looks ideal for a cable tie to go through to hold them on, should they try to fall off laugh

Maybe, It's not how long they last (months/years) but how often they are used is the decider.

I haven't replaced mine for a couple of years but then I do live on the driest continent on earth, after Antarctica.

Oh T, saving cash again!

I got some cheap wipers for a car I wasn't keeping and they were literally worse than the old ones I took off

Have you tried cleaning your screen thoroughly? You shouldn't get through then that quick, as long as you're not scraping ice off first thing or living in the wettest place in the world wink

Well, we've had a lot of rain lately and the wipers are doing well laugh

They sit against the screen nicely and are wiping as well as any other blade does.

My screen has got two bad chips in it though and one of them is catching the drivers blade so I expect it to rip eventually, but for now, I'm happy with the blades cool
