Looking for recommendations for new wiper blades as mine are garbage, preferably somewhere on the net where I can get them delivered.

Price dependant, could also do with replacing the arms as well as they look a bit flimsy, especially at speed!

Did a search and the most recent posts I can find are now over two years old.

If you have a Costco nearby they were doing Goodyear flexi blades for about £7.95 each. They are extremely good and I've not found them anywhere else to replace them after a year and a half, still work well though!

I always buy Bosch wipers off ebay and delivered they are nearly half the price of Halfrauds.

I bought a set of cheapo flat blades from "Redline" on Ebay - about £10 for the pair. Ive had em on for a couple of months and they are OK so far

I fitted some from these guys - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Xenon-Bulbs-Direct/Windows-Wipers-/_i.html?_fsub=3612012016&_sid=443654396&_trksid=p4634.m322 and they worked fine, a tad cheaper than the costco ones but they do the job well. Not sure how long they last since I no longer own the car.
