Hi guys,


I had the displeasure of changing my wiper blades as it started to scratch my wind screen leaving blade marks and water stains..exactly 7 months since I got my car. Very early ? yes it is maybe it cuz i park it most of the time under sun so no regrets for me but was seriously surprised over the pricing of the wipers (original)

I called up Puchong SC and they quoted :

1 pair bosch normal = RM77
1 pair good type silicone(can't remember what brand) = RM108 comes with 1 year warranty
and the best:
1pc left original Japan = RM108.50
1pc right original Japan = RM 109.30


I was like wow! RM218 and it doesn't withstand our sun!!..I tried to reason with them on any warranty available but the SA said sorry sir there is only 1 month after you take the car after that its case by case as they need to check the mirror to see if we applied some chemical like rain X which is not approved!.

Anyway i just avoided that hassle and got myself a pair from Duraedge flex series which costs only RM94.00 and comes with 2 years guarantee.

Oh ya the wiper sizes are 24" and 18"..the original comes with 23" and 17

Just FYI.

Mine was squeaking a little and left a lot of "water lines" every time it wipes, after 6 months, also mostly parked under the sun. My friend bought me a pair of Bosch wipers for below RM50 from Ace Hardware and replaced it for me, but that was even worse because it squeaked loudly, so I had them changed back to the original ones. May I know how your Duraedge is doing to far? If they are good, may I know where you bought them?
