RRS 2012 wiper blade help!

Hi guys,

Brand new to the forum and to the RRS world.

Sorry if this question as been covered before.

But i need to replace my wiper blades on my 2012 RRS SC, i have finally worked out the part numbers i need for each blade:

LR018367 & DKB500710 for the rear. I think the original blades are made by Bosch but i could be wrong.

But i just wondered if any of you suggest going for a aftermarket brand? On the RRS American forum loads of people were saying to go for Rain X but i can't seem to find them in the UK.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Not sure about the front, but I've just replaced my rear wiper blade, after reading a few posts here I went for a Bosch super plus, got it from Eurocarparts, part No 485771050 and if you use the current discount code "frosty80" it costs £3.90 delivered,

Go for the Bosch Aerotwin, 22 inch with a hook figment.

Easy to find on the net and far better than the LR sparepart, and much cheaper than from a Main Dealer.

Hi David007, thanks for replying, oh dam i can't believe i went ahead and bought a rear already for double the price Sad Hopefully the code will still be working in another 6months when i have to replace.

Thanks LandPhil that's great news, thats what i went for in the end for the front. £16.58 for the two fronts.

Thanks again for help guys.

All personal choice I guess but I fitted the Bosch Aerotwin and though they were absolute crap, noisy and judder so binned them pretty quickly, fitted Michelin Stealth instead quietest blade ever used, but as I said all a personal choice and everyone will have a different opinion.

Cheers

I used aeromax for ages but the last couple of pairs I have had have been crap, barely lasting a month of light use before smearing and juddering. Pur a pair of denso blades on from euro car parts and been impressed, quieter and no smear.
