Wiper Blades Vantage coupe 2010 Yr model - supplier?

[steveatesh]

I see from other threads thatches crops up (eg https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... but not sure of a definitive answer - other than an AM dealer where can I get replacement wiper blades for my MY2010 Vantage Coupe please?

Nothing on Eurocarparts or Halfords, has anybody got the from Costco recently at all?

Or any other supplier?

Does not necessarily have to be the dual blade style long as they work and don't squeak!

Bosch Aerotwin 26 & 20 I got them from the bay in a twin pack for about £25

Thanks, Do they fit onto the original arms or is the some sort of adaptor required?

Fit straight on, takes about 2 mins once you figure out how it works. You have to press the right bit and rotate. Harder to describe than it is to do.

Thanks for that

I agree re. the Bosch wipers. Another quick tip - if you can't fit the plastic covers try turning them through 180 degrees. Don't ask how I know!

Tried to look these up, still confused.

Bosch Areotwin Model A089S fits many Astons but only lists Vantage from 07/2011. There was a wiper blade arm change around then but is the connector different or are they compatible with the MY2010 and earlier?

If you have the old arms they supposedly have less pressure and some report that the thin type blades don't make contact with all the screen. When I had my 06 Vantage I used a hybrid blade, gets rid of a load of the structure of the originals to make a slimmer blade. I used the Denso Hybrid 050R & 060R

That’s the problem I had with Bosch Aero Blades, there was not enough pressure and the middle section about 20cm in did not make contact with the screen.

Tried a little bending of the arms, but gave up and went back to the original blades.

May try the Denso Hybrid to see if they are any better.

Cheers, looking at these the AM cars don't seem to be included in vehicle fitment - do they replace the originals easily or do they need some adaptors please?

That's what I used, fitted straight on, no adapters needed.
