I'd steer well clear of those cheap ones they sell on ebay. I bought a pair and they were hopeless.

The cheepy ones will cure wiper lift at 'cruising' speeds but i found i needed to slightly bend my wiper arm to apply enough pressure to wipe, going to try the decent bosch ones soon thought, i loved them on my last car.

they do look great on the 2 though

I had the cheepy ebay ones for a while - they worked ok for a little while but soon fell apart! I replaced them with the bosch flat wipers (still from ebay) and the build quality is easy to see as soon as you open the box.

Would def recomend the genuine flat bosch wipers but not the particular cheepy ebay ones i bought first! Buy cheap buy twice!

Are you guy's referring to the Bosch "Aerotwin" blades? I think i had some on my old car that worked pretty nicely...
