windshield wipers

[Barney]

Hi guys, are there any Bosch windscreen wipers on the market yet? In Germany I haven't found anything specifically for the IG. What's the situation in other countries? Greetings Barney

In my opinion and I’ve tried the Bosch flat aero blade one which don’t last and will eventually smear and drag.

The best is Denso hybrid because they use an old school blade design which has a better uniform contact patch across the windscreen. It’s packaged in an aerodynamic design and is silent, no lift and no drag.

Hi I have used the Bosch aero twin which took a little while to bed in better than the ones OEM but have been driving a loan Station wagon for the last month and the standard blades are fine so .

Which one did you take?

I could not find any Grenadier specific wipers but measured the existing and bought Bosch aero twin to match. Haven't used them yet as took them as spares.

Aero twin by a margin the rear is smaller than the man ones

 

[Barney]

Which length or type designation did you choose?

Sorry Barney I don’t have the wipers or the vehicle with me at the moment so can’t check the size or any code number

Can you just measure the old blade and purchase rubber refills?

For the record and future searches both front blades can be retro-fitted with:

Left and right side are identical for the Bosch wiper?
What about rear wiper?

Both front windshield wipers are identical. I haven't taken a look at the back yet, but my rig is only 3 months old and the rear wiper actually wipes, the factory blades on the front were hopeless.

Thank you guys, my front wipers were driving me crazy, this is very useful!

I just ordered a set. Very thankful for the information and the link to the US seller.

After a very wet weekend in Wales have replaced the OEf a set of aero twins night and day just off to”test “ them again.

See my post about the Bosch blades months ago!

Apart from the blades.... has anyone devised a method of improving the flow and direction of the washers?

Only by getting new washers as far as I’m aware. I had to get a new passenger side washer as no adjustment and aiming too low.
