Wiper blades - 2017 Tig

[smarty]

What does everyone else use? I’ve always used the genuine ones. Seems that aftermarket are the same price if not more than genuine VW ones? Also the aftermarket look abit more bulky on the connector side that factory ones that click in? Am I being silly and missing something? If you run non genuines, can you show what they look like fitted? Thanks

Ive tried the Bosch and Valeo replacements, but currently am using the Wipertech blades on both my cars and they are the best (out of the ones ive tried) in my opinion.

Thanks for that, handy to know.
Mind popping a pic up so I can see how they fit/look over the vw ones?

Here you go. They look just like the factory blades. They will no doubt be having a sale in the next week or so for fathers day so perhaps hold off for a few days. They normally take $10 off or offer free shipping.

And at 10.01am I got an email from Wipertech with their fathers day sale offer. $10 off and free express post.

Code is: DADSDAY

Yeah they look great. Almost identical. The ones that I have looked at look huge and bulky and ****. Might give those bad boys a run

I got another email from wipertech.com.au with code FATHERSDAY2022

Before I retired I worked for a VW parts supplier and had Bosch and Valeo blades available at cost. I had no issue with Bosch on my Golf and Polo until a few years back when a set shuddered from new. Tried Wipertech and silent from day 1. Thought I'd give Bosch another try after a year and instant shuddering. Replaced with Wipertech and again silent from install. I guess what I'm saying is I'd recommend you give Wipertech a try. (Screen or arms was not an issue.)

Have gone the wiper techs will see how they go
$59 delivered express, not a bad deal

Use wipertech blades on my Q5 and wifes Q3 and they have been flawless the past ~12 months. Considering the hassle of trying to find decent wiper blades online, through brick & mortar stores, wipertech is hands down the best. The set they sent me for my wifes Q3 included a longer rear wiper blade designed for the sportback Q3, not the normal SUV. They sent out a replacement shorter version express post after i emailed them with photos and measurements etc. Not many other shops would be willing to do that.

I also only got the fronts and not rear too

Just added Wipertech to my allspace - front and back and also on daughters Koleos. Work exactly as stated and easily the best I have used. The service from Wipertech was excellent also as an issue with Aust Post was sorted quickly and painlessly. Can recommend them to any one who needs new wipers, regardeless of car brand. PS - also clay barred and clenaed screen and polished with NU Finish once a year polish as per Youtube videos and the water release is so much better than the ones whio state they are specific.

Anyone else notice the wipertech front blades are about 1 inch longer on the driver side, a little longer on the passenger side, but about 1cm shorter on the back?

Any idea where the extra length will put extra strain on the wiper motors and cause a failure eventually?
