The wipers have worn and in need for replacement. Have been to many accessories outlets but could not find any Bosch Aerotwin with sizes of our extra long wipers. Do you know where to source them? Or any recommended alternatives?

If you call Bosch and ask which of their dealers has it they will tell you. At least that's what they did when I called them.

I got mine at PH Auto at Tmn Seapark. But mine is a 407 and I got it at RM130/- a pair.
You can call them at 7787 2288 to check if they have stock. smile_thumbup.gif

Have called PH Auto and they don't carry wiper blades that are this long. Only originals are available and they are about RM140 per blade.

Going to order from Wiperblades.co.uk.

Any comments?

That's the thing. When searching for 308 wiper blades in UK websites, 28"/26" were shown. However the rest of EU show 30"/26". I have measured ours and they were indeed 30"/26".

UK has a different spec? I doubt so. Can we use the shorter version?

Anyone who has changed their blades can shed some light here?

What am I missing here? You want Bosch but you don't want original? smile_blackeye.gif

I've used this before and they easily last about 2years or more. I considered buying from UK but given
their climate the wipers may not last long in our climate. But I could be wrong.

Here comes a thought...

If the UK spec has sizes of 28"/26", can we fit them so that our driver's side (right) has the longer 28" and the passenger side (left) has the shorter 26"?
