Can recommend Bosch Aerotwin-wiper blades for the Mk7 Golf they are excellent.has anybody replaced their wiper blades yet? I dont want to by the oem blades.
I have some Rain-X beam blades on our Expedition. They are not very good. They have trouble wiping on the hwy and don't seem to conform to the window shape very well. I doubt they fit the weird size VW wiper arm either. The Bosch blades I had previously on the Expedition were better even after a year than new RainX blades.See if rain-x has something. They offer blades that also apply a water repellant as you use it. They can be quite pricey, though

I think the OEM blades are Valeo and you can get them cheaper than $50 a set on ebay.
Thought about ordering these. How do you like them?VALEO from Idparts.
Don't know specifically about the GSW, but you can't go just by size. The bracket and fittings have to be correct. VW seems to not be compatible with a lot of the aftermarket blades. Only a few will work.So, not all replacement blades will work for a GSW? My original ones are starting to leave a streak and was thinking of just picking up some Goodyear ones from my local Costco (assuming they have the right size).
These are good, and not too expensive I bought one set that somehow was defect, and id parts replaced them for free.VALEO from Idparts.
Bosch blades are also available from idparts, a vendor which supports this FREE website. ECS does not. Just my 2¢......The Bosch blades at ECS are fine too.
I had attached the Bosch blades at ecs to some other order of parts that ID doesn’t carry. They were the same price as the Valeo wipers. I prefer ID for anything that both carry, especially since they sponsor this site.Bosch blades are also available from idparts, a vendor which supports this FREE website. ECS does not. Just my 2¢...
