New Style Wiper Blades

I fitted a pair of those new style flat wiper blades to my Scorp yesterday and WOW what a difference.
By just using the screen wash jets I noticed how the sweep of the blades left no smears, they are very quiet as well, just waiting for heavy rain now to give them a proper test 
Anyone else got them ?

1)As I say, waiting for a good downpour to give them a thorough test, If they pass I'll be getting one for the tailgate, even though I have recently paid FMD £8+ for a normal one.
2)They use the same type of clip that is used on original blades but more refined.

someone tried them a year or so ago and came to the conclusion of not really being worth the extra cost when you can pick up a perfectly adequate pair of standard blades from lid etc for a few quid.
if your current blades are noisy/smear, try cleaning them with glass cleaner, takes 30 seconds, if that doesnt work then you're due for new blades anyway....

it's always best to try things personally... people's opinion are different, depending on what they were expecting
so far, most people recommend them, i'll try them soon and will see

I had set on mine for 18 months before I decided to change them and in all that time they were brilliant, far better than standard ones. So with that I fitted a second pair of the same make and what rubbish they were, 2 months later and I was back to original style blades (only because these were free).
