The windscreen wipers have gone down in price on ebay.

These are of a lesser known brand, have started to see really cheap ones of this style in various discount markets.

Not sure I have them on the cars at present but think I would prefer the original Ford wipers to make everything as original as poss. What do the originals look like?
What is the best brand to clear the windscreen, if not Ford's?

I fitted standard wipers from Tesco to my Scorpio.
When I bought them they were £1.46 each, now they're £3.00! No complaints here either.
I have fitted Bosch to previous cars and tbh don't notice much difference except the price.
All I do know is the pair for a quid from car booty or pound shop last about 5 wipes of the screen.
I noticed in my local Tesco they're now selling "universal" flat wiper blades for not much more.
P.S. No, I don't work for Tesco.

I bought a pair of those flat wipers off Ebay about a month ago, just to see what all the fuss was about, & I can tell you that they are no better than a new normal pair of cheap wipers.....probably worse !!
They clear the screen okay (like new wipers do), but they make a horrible 'bang' whenever they hit the furthest point, just like an old pair of worn wipers do .....So I don't think I'll be buying them again 
Plus they look really naff as well
