Mine arrived today - getting them fitted Wednesday.

I had two new s/s headlamp surrounds/bezels fitted two months ago - they were rusted to nothing! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Just thought of a job for my son Whistle Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Agreed - lights are excellent Thumbs Up
However, I'm not so sure about the Silblades. Driving home tonight I couldn't see Censored all, what with the drizzle and antifreeze Sad
I'm putting the old ones back on tomorrow to see if they're less smeary... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

That's unlikely to be the blades, you either need to clean your screen properly or the blades or both. sil blades are excellent and don't smear at all.

also rain-x is good. the combination of the sil blade and rain x is brilliant.

I use the Rain X anti fog stuff for the insides of the windows - also very good.

Will try Siliblades once mine (recently bought, so far very good) wear out. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.
