Buy Valeo Xtrm. Best wipers i've ever used.
Got mine off ebay in a listing for 206. 2x22"
The rubber is slimmer than the Bosch ones so look better on the car.

ok i got the blades replaced. No need for applause 
I notice that 90% of driver side lenth of the bosch blade is making contact with the windscreen which means that 10% isnt.
These bosch AR530S aerotwins, are both of these blades exactly the same or is one blade specific to passenger side, driver side etc.? there's no indication in the instructions.

It is not a MOT fail. They are perfectly fine.

Guys,
I purchased Bosch aerotwins - 22" AR22U.
Having used aerotwin's before, I knew how great they would be over the standard wipers.
Got a massive problem with wiper chatter!! It's driving me mad....I've polished the windshield with little improvement.
Recorded a quick video - www.youtube.com/watch?...e=youtu.be
The passenger side in particular seems to be making a the most noise.
The wiper arms are nice and tight - not loose. I did loosen them a little, however it made no difference whatsoever.
It's driving me mad!!
