Is there a picture/video guide on how to change windscreen wipers to bosch aerotwin?
Also which bosch aerotwin do i buy? Im on the bosch website and they got so many versions on the pdf catalogue? Which one do I get and what size?
In their catalogue what does retrofit mean and what adapters do i need or do they come with the wipers?
thanks,

You need the retrofit ones in 21" I think.

I'm trying the Valeo flat blades at the moment, found Bosch aerotwin quality has gone downhill since they where originally launched.

There fine so far, only been on about 3 months, not as easy to fit as the Bosch ones
After 3 sets of Bosch I fancied a change.

Is this a joke....
You want a vid to change wiper blades?
If you can't change a wiper blade you have no hope owning a French car lol,
On a serious note look on YouTube

Used them on the old fiesta and the pug, never failed me once!
The old set lasted me until I wrote off the fiesta and i've had the ones on the 206 for about 8 months now, they're just the same as when i put them on

All well and good people saying 21", but what year is your car?
Different linkages on the early models mean different wiper blade lengths.
As for fitting it is a straight forward 30 second job. No tools required. Unclip the old one from the wiper arm and put the new one in its place. It's easier than changing a bulb, although some people make a meal out of that too.

Using the wiper service position on the multiplexed 206 makes it even easier
