Also got mine from Tesco - they were on offer at £3.61 :shock: - had no problems with them - just wish I had bought more of them at that price for the time when they need replacing. #-o

I've also got some Tesco ones and wondered why the fit bit was at the bottom. I too hadn't seen any instructions on how to revere them, but will have a look at the packaging I retained tonight.

Can't say I've seen a massive improvement in performance, but they look okay I guess.

I used them for over a month before I found the instructions when fitting another one to a different car. :roll:
That's useful to know - I'll have a fiddle with them over the weekend. Unfortunately, I fitted them whilst in Belgium, so no longer have the packaging #-o

I'll see if I can find it and scan it.

I ended up ordering a set from DBO's link, £10.94 = Total :D Cheers Dave! =D>

The Tesco ones in Trowbridge were £6 each for the aeros & £3.80 od?? for standard each.
They didn't have the size for a Micra... (both front Micra wipers are really shot!) :twisted: I ended up going to Chippenham for some standards @ Halfrauds... 15od quid!! #-o

DBO sourced my aero wipers for the bongo for me... Even the MOT tester ( a former bongo owner) was mightily impressed with the effectiveness of the wipe! :D I bought a set for my Focus too,i rate em 9 out of 10.

I've got the same ones as daveblueozzie, and think they're great. Very new ones I had on previously, disintegrated (well, one did), due to poor clipped (not riveted) construction - when I started wiping (with washers - but effect too slow!), on a dry screen well covered in Irish insects. Showed them to Ian at the Bash, and he was going to investigate the supply source.

I have a set of these on order https://www.buytripledge.com/, They are amazing and have used them on the car at work. They also come with a LIFETIME warranty, which they will uphold as i have had one replced on the work car. A good product and definetly worth thinking about.

Mine came through today! Just fitted em took seconds, even though no instructions with em.
Just checked the site.. They lowered the price! #-o
The passenger side seems to wipe better than the Bosch i removed which seemed to have little nicks along the blade when i looked close at em.

Got a drive to Switzerland Thursday, find out how they get on!! :wink:
