I finally got around to installing these, in spite of some bad reviews by other members...
I have to disagree.
Other members reported that the blade would lift in the centre - I've not found this to be a problem.
So what's the benefit? They're no worse, but are they better?
1) Noise - there isn't any. The blades are quieter on the screen, probably because of more even pressure. They're also significantly more aerodynamic so there's no wind noise as they move, even at 65-70mph
2) Even pressure - without the normal pressure points, the wipers leave the screen clearer, as there's no lower pressure areas where it sneaks under the blade
3) Visual presence - I mean what it's like from the driver's seat - they're noticeably less intrusive as they sweep through your vision than traditional spoilered blades.
So far, I'm very pleased with them, and would buy them again.
