Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

^£7 per blade. I got some similar from ebay and they were fine. Got bosch ones this time but they're not worth the extra money, still started smearing after about 8 months.

They are £3 a blade in tesco now. End of line maybe?

Just got the last 20'' set in Tescos tonight. £3 a blade ftw.

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

Yup £3 all sizes

Loads in Tesco Salisbury, nearly bought the lot.

Tempted to glue the block on, looks like it could away from the blade at some point.

TESCO are selling FLAT BLADES FOR £3 Each

Went to local tesco and the flat blades were on half price so i got myself 2 22" blades for £6.
This was at my local in formby north west so not sure if its nationwide. Worth a look even if its for spares.

bargain tbh if they are as good as ppl say they are

Re: TESCO are selling FLAT BLADES FOR £3 Each

I bought 2 22" but was going to take them back today as I thought I needed 21". Will 22" fit ok?

Why are they so curved, don't look so flat to me lol

Chambo88 · Jun 23, 2009

Re: TESCO are selling FLAT BLADES FOR £3 Each

they do flex quite a bit so i assume they are just curved so they stick to the windscreen well. they only have either 20 or 22 so i assumed an inch wont be too much bigger than the standard 21's. havent tried them yet though, waiting for old ones to perish

Re: TESCO are selling FLAT BLADES FOR £3 Each

Oh right, I though I read somewhere 20" would leave a bit unwiped in the middle or the edge or something, might jus cut the 22" down then.

Might try them later.

My4tt91 · Jun 23, 2009

i brought some 20inch ones yesterday the only bit it doesnt clear is the bit at the bottom of the screen. part from that there spot on.

I've put the 22" on mine and imho it looks fine. They sit close, but its only 1" longer than std. If i remember I’ll get a pic tomorrow if it'll help you decide, but for £6 its hardly going to break the bank to buy a set of both. I'm going to try some of the 20" tomorrow. The loser will go on the 1.6.

Curley · Jun 24, 2009

Sorry, i was on about 22 inch in my posts (Sorry Tony)

So, will the 22inch look out of place? I'd like to see the pictures Flakturm.

Chambo88 · Jun 24, 2009

cant imagine an inch extra looking out of place considering its only 0.5 of an inch either side, thats just over a cm difference which if you think about it is nothing compared to your windscreen. and as flakturm said, u cant really go wrong with £6 tbh

shovon · Jun 24, 2009

I found with the 22 inch, that it was slightly too long on the drivers side where the windscreen curves away and the wiper doesn't bend to follow the angle of it. And the 22s looked just a bit too big IMO.

So I swapped to 20 inch but as mentioned before you do get a slight patch in the middle at the bottom of the screen where the wipers meet that doesn't get wiped.

Sorry mate, picked up some of the 20" blades and took a couple of shots earlier, but have just ended up with two pics full of glare.

I'll have another go tomorrow...

DJRowlando · Jun 24, 2009

Paul RN · Jun 28, 2009

How are people finding these, I hear they have a habit of lifting off at high speed

nickl360 · Jul 7, 2009

If you fit them the right way then you are fine.

Greeny. · Jul 7, 2009

Yeah they are fine, only had 20's in stock at mine so they will do

superbenji88 · Jul 7, 2009

got mine for £2.70 each, really good for that price!

Alastair. · Jul 7, 2009

mine fell apart

dajones · Jul 7, 2009

mine lasted 3 months

but its only £3 so i got some more

deefadog · Jul 7, 2009

Has anyone manages to fit these to a the flat type wiper arms like you get on a MkIII Clio? I have tried my hardest but can't see how any of the adapters will fit?

See pics in post No4 here - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=434458

Cheers

Vish · Jul 7, 2009

Good info here and nice pics flakturm.

Might see if they still have any 20s left and get a set of those too. As said £6 won't break the bank.

Clart · Jul 7, 2009

i've got 2 x 22" on mine. The drivers side wiper seems to miss the last inch of the blade - might try a 20 and see if thats any better - for £3 per blade they are a bargain.

Got the same on mine, m8. They seem to clear all the bits of the screen ok for me. They had a good test today too - proper bounced it down with rain on the way home from work.

superbenji88 · Jul 10, 2009

As the one on the drivers side wipes back, the middle seems to miss the glass, anyone else had this problem?

I got the 20inch ones
