Yeh I am, using some that fit existing arms ebay £20, had them on my previous x5 for 2yr no probs, if u fit them u need to remove the small bracket thats half way up the drivers side wiper arm or it wont sit right. They also freshen the car up and have cleaner look to them

I bought mine from ebay - Channel Islands supplier (VAT dodge). Cost around £12 for all 3 and I've been delighted. Simpler and better than traditional design particularly at high autobahn speed. At that price I change them twice a year. The ones I have are called Aero- Vu or similar and no problems at all apart from a couple of minutes working out how they fit on stalk.

not very impressed with mine to be honest - I got mine from wiper blades.co.uk.
Can't knock their service, got them the next day, and cheap prices.
But I went for the wrong wipers - Valeo universal retrofit.
They clean well but make a bit of noise and kind of throw water onto the passenger side.
Stick to Bosch in my opinion - cheaper and better!

yea, been using them on the front for a while. Got them of ebay but cant remember what kind etc. They are OK but the drivers side one makes a noise unless it's really wet.

I bought a set of 3 for mine but the drivers side one was too curved and didnt sit flush on the windscreen and left a big arc of uncleaned window.

I think that this is them -

I was also impressed in that they didn't arrive for a few days after which I complained. Sent a new set and, of course, the original set arrived that day. Offered to pay but they refused and simply said use us again.
Small touch but appreciated!

Thanks for the link godiman :thumbsup:

Just ordered a set cheap as chips, that was the easy part now fitting them may be a different story altogether!
