Bought a siliblade from mudstuff as the drivers side factory blade was
 . It was expensive but fair play it works! Cleanest screen ever compared to the passenger side.
Would recommend 100% Pom |

bloody ridiculous price ... £35 for a pair of wipers!!!
Just buy a repellant screen polish .. does exactly the same thing, bout a tenner 
And keep yer blades clean, most wiper blades last for a few years, its a build up of dirt on them that impair performance Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

I can second Poms recomendation. Best wipers I've used on any car, period.
Sure 35 £ is alot, but they do claim them to last forever. In comparison, pending this years holiday I bought special new ones for my M5, set me back almost 55£ and they were cr@p /FG |

thanks Pom
I found the factory ones to be rubbish so I bought some Bosch ones from Halfords for £20 ish and they were even worse so I put the old ones back on ! You've saved me asking  |

Personally, I use these silicone blades. They are guaranteed to last the life of the car. They are also a fraction of the cost of "Siliblades" as well (£4.00). Best wipers I've ever had on a Defender...

I vote Silblade too, had them for about a year now and unlike rain x or other such products, you need do nothing more than turn your wipers on and they look after themselves - bloody marvellous and well worth the money even if it does hurt when you first buy them!!

Ive read a lot of good things about those blades.
This year Ive applied the two products below to the windscreens of our cars. Now when it rains I hardly have to use the wipers at all as the water beads on the windscrren, and then is blown off the screen at speeds over 40mph. http://shop.autobritedirect.co.uk/repel---...2710-p.asp http://shop.autobritedirect.co.uk/crystal-...3292-p.asp |

Great product!
I'm using Silblades since one year and I'm enthusiast of them. Only with snow the are performances reduced, the snow sticks to the blade and the windscreen is not clean so well Matteo Defender 110 Td4 SE MY 09 |

Bought a pair of the above. They come with a lifetime guarantee. Was'nt happy with one of them so I e-mailed and received a replacement straight away.They have a first class customer service.They work fine,seems the heavier the rain the better they work. It would be interesting to put one of these and a Sillblade wiper on a vehicle and see how they compare. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

I fitted the siliblades within a week of getting the motor as the factory ones had been well used and were pretty ineffective. Great purchase and I'm happy to spend £35 to keep decent visibility and temper.
