Hey guys. Im trying find a pair of bosch wipers for my front and rear wipers. Anyone know where i can get them from? Thanks!

You can only get wiper refils for the rears. I also saw Danny ordered some on his fb.

I re-used my Bosch Aero-Twins from my Yaris - same size (24"/14").

However, I believe the OEM length for the passenger side is 15". 14" is covers enough of the windscreen.

Got them from Bursons Auto Parts.

I've got them last week. They work like a charm. Wipes the windscreen in silence.

lol don't think there's any other wipers as good as Bosch :)

If your wipers are jumping around and squeaking try cleaning your windscreen with meths or white spirits and then a second go over with glass cleaner to get rid of the smears - dont get it on the paint though.
Once youve done that a quick wipe over the rubber wiper refil as well to remove any gunk.

The problem is usually caused by a dirty windscreen, or worn wiper blades (not the refils the blades) so resolve that problem and any decent wipers will work fine.

Thought I'd introduce myself quickly... my name is Andy and I bought a CW EP3R about 2 months ago. Prior to buying it I did a lot of research mainly on the EP3 threads here, and ended put a deposit down at IMG.

Anyway I should be saying thanks to everyone who has contributed their experiences and recommendations about this fantastic car. It definitely makes the 40-50 min daily drive to work a lot more exciting!

And tonight I decided to stop hiding from my computer screen, say hello and start making some friends who drive the same car LOL! I just found that facebook group too so yeah hope to see you guys around cheers :)

welcome andy

btw dirt gets trapped on your wiper blades too not only the glass so you gotta rinse/spray the windscreen to get the gunk off that too.

I've been living in NSW for about a month (at least my car has lived here for a month, I've been here for just over a week) car's been driven twice to the supermarket, and I'm already down one wind deflector (driver's side)... how much per year do I have to budget for NSW thieving scum?

People stealing wind deflectors are uncommon.

It was parked in the Castle Hill area, might be a good place to avoid.

I does look like replacement deflectors should be easy enough to come by.
