Beam blade wiper - Bosch Aerotwin

[rjn21]

Has anyone had their 2011 or earlier model year updated with the 2012 'beam blade' wiper design which incorporates the Bosch Aerotwin wiper? As far as I can tell it should just be a replacement of the 2 arms on the front. I think it looks neater with the single blade rather than the multi link normal wiper arm.

Part numbers would be helpful Craig. How do aerotwins perform compared to the OE blades?

I replaced regular wipers with aerotwins on my other car. In terms of performance they are at least as good.

However, I don't like the aerotwin wipers that are designed to use the existing mounts; They look wrong IMO. I would only do this if the OE wiper arms for aerotwin were available - which sounds to be the case on the Vantage if I'm not mistaken.

Exactly was looking to put the OE aerotwin wiper arm on, replacing the current arm.

go back to 15th january its there with a picture , "DB9 wipers"( I know im a 9 driver but i can remember doing it) ,part no AR24U , AR20U, seem to work , when the drivers side was new it missed a tiny bit at the bottom of the screen on the 1st upstroke , the beam has quite a lot of spring but its ok now, and as my post it looks miles cleaner looking out ,
