Title: Wipers?
Post by Bulgarien on Dec 10^th, 2009, 9:53pm

Hello Scorpio drivers

The clima changes has come, and it rain all 4 seasons, but now we getting real winter (in Denmark) with snow next week. I like the snow best ... ::)

Therefore I think, it must a good idea to maintenance and get the best wibers (to the price) right now to our Scorpio

Which wibers are you using today and like? (or have try and not like?)

I have heard that Bosh AeroTwin is great, but olso very expenesive. Valeo should be sheap, but not the money worth, is that correct?

Worldwide oneline sales, where we can buy wibers

I found out that BOSH should bee selling 2 sizes (?) that fit our Scorpio

pair: 500/475 -a503s or pair: 500/500 a922s ...

Which sixe/model is right? - is there difference between driver site and passenger site in a saloon/sedan

Thanks for helping us to get our Scorpio better ;)

Hello. a lot of people on here go for the Bosch wipers. I beleive for the saloon they would be 500/500 as they are both 500mm.... hth

I've bought the cheap blades from here, and they were fine:

At the moment I'm using ones from Lidl, I usually buy a couple of sets when they have them on offer.

Can't say I notice any diffence between these and dearer ones.

I think that the best wipers today must bee Bosch Aerotwin, but the first problem is that Bosch only sell them as a pair in difference sizes(!) and they do not sell them in Scorpio size 500/500, (driver/passenger)

Then lately Bosh have made Aereotwin wipers to to match older car, and they called the serie Aerotwin RETROFIT (AR)

The nearest Aerotwin Retrofit (AR) is size 500/475 mm, ( Number; AR 503S / productnr. ; 3 397 118 993 / size; 500/475, that i find in the brand new catalogue from 2010/2011, page 9

Choose download ): http://rb-aa.bosch.com/boaa-dk/Category.jsp?ccat_id=24&language=da-DK&publication=1

But okay ...The difference in passenger is only 2,5 cm smaller then necessary, but will it still fit the window? . Alternative could I buy two pair and use the one in size 500 from each packet ;-) but I think that going to bee to very expensive.

As a owner from Denmark I think its very difficult to find good wipers that match our Scorpio, and I therefore need some help where I can buy them online. Where and who sell these new models ? I don´t think Google is a help here.. and I can´t find them on http://wiperblades.co.uk/

Thanks, I guess that answers will bee very helpful for all Scorpio owners in EU :-)
