Wiperblades on sale at Wipertech - today only

As this post popped up again I thought I'll update on how the wipertech blades went.

Around June/July 2023 (say 14 months ago) the wipertech blades were put on my T-Roc.
They were really good, no skipping or anything like that and performed to the same standard as when first fitted.

The T-Roc was updated in April so just before handing in the old T-Roc I replaced the wipertech blades with the OEM ones, these were still like new.

New T-Roc came home and a full ceramic coat was applied including all glass. The brand new OEM blades initially worked alright but then started to skid/shudder after about 6-8 weeks. The wipertech ones were sitting around so I placed these ones on.
Back to working as they should, clear wipe covering full wipe sweep and no skipping.

Points to note -
There have been a lot of complaints about the quality of OEM wiper blades on T-Rocs from UK forums.

Wipertech front blades are a match in size for the fronts but due to a redesign rear wiper arm I can't get the rear yet.

I have had plenty of rain to use them in over the past few months and like I said in post #11 the windscreen is always kept clean with the blade rubber conditioned and cleaned regularly.

As a direct replacement over Volkswagen's crappy blades I would recommend the wipertech ones. Bosch versus Wipertech, I was not really impressed with the Bosch ones after a few months.
On another note I have replaced my Audi's wiper blades with Wipertech. Can't see any difference between the two yet except the cost difference. Audi is about twice the cost.

Not just on T-Roc's, there have been many complaints about skipping/shuddering wiper blades on Golfs, Tiguans etc for many years. Whoever VW use for wiper blades must be using poor quality products.

Goes away back to at least 2010 Our Polo ones did more hops than a bunch of rabbits and even replacement originals were rubbish, Passat and Tiguan were the same but Tig wasnt as bad as the others. They were Ok if screen was really wet but for just occasional Auto wipes were rubbish. Even the new Kamiq ones arent perfect

I remember my brand new Golf R in 2011 had this issue and I replaced (at my cost) with Bosch wiper blades which were much better. I wonder who VW have a contract with to make the wiper blades?
