#1: Wiper Blades... Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 4:37 pm ---- Ok ... total noob here..
First time buying wiper blades, few questions.
I have a 52 plate 206.
1) What are aero blades? Are they much better?
2) Are aero blades easy to fit?
3) Prices? Recommendations?
4) Will these fit: cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEUGUOT...497wt_1026
5) What size am I looking at for my 206, front and rear?
Sorry for so many questions - this is my first time buying ... it was the 'tesco' thread that made me aware of aero wipers...

They are the same to fit as normal wipers. Not sure what your sizes are, but my car is 02 and the wipers are 22/22 on the front. The rear wiper is the same on every car.
Check out www.wiperblades.co.uk and go through the car checks and it will present you with what you need at the end.

I'll wait until my car's back from the body shop and have a look then.
Cheers again
Them ones on wiperblades.co.uk are only 6.20 each... that sounds a good price? They're also recommended by Auto Express which I read regularly so I might get them ...
#4: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 1:56 am ---- aero blades from tesco are about £6 each and work brilliantly use search bar and search tesco wiper blades and have a look.
#5: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 2:25 am ---- Oh, cheers Dan - will have a look now.
#6: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 2:26 am ---- no probs!
#7: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: bertt, Location: chesterPosted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 2:50 am ---- may get meself a set of them. . .
#8: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 1:00 pm ---- I just ordered a set - once my car gets back from the body shop, I'll put them on and let you know how I get on.
#9: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 1:45 pm ---- Aeroblades don't wipe any better than normal window wipers, they just look better.
Also with aeroblades you need a inch shorter, so its 21/21
#10: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 2:58 pm ---- Dam. Wiperblades.co.uk told me I need two 22" so that's what I bought.
I'll see what happens and return them if they don't fit, thanks for the heads up Lee
#11: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: silvertwo-oh-six, Posted: Sat Feb 01, 2014 7:10 am ---- Ordered a set of 22" aero wipers.
Ad even stated "peugeot 206".
Wiper on o/s hits the window trim on the side nearly bending the wiper?
Is it the wiper being too big? The seller being a retard and not giving right size (states 22" on the box), or aero wipers need to come in smaller size to fit?
Thanks
#12: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: MrRichmond1995, Location: ChelmsfordPosted: Sat Feb 01, 2014 7:18 am ---- I have the same problem with the o/s hitting the window trim
What I did to cure it was slightly file down the end of the wiper blade.
#13: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sat Feb 01, 2014 7:30 am ---- Although 22" is correct for OEM, it has been found that the 21" aero fits perfectly. Some compatibility lists will state that 22" is needed which makes it really confusing.
#14: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: silvertwo-oh-six, Posted: Sat Feb 01, 2014 8:10 am ---- Thanks guys. May contact the seller to see if he will swap.
Is it suggested 21 for both sides? Or just o/s
#15: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sat Feb 01, 2014 8:21 am ---- I got a 21s on both sides. Not had a problem with them
#16: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: LiamMiller, Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 4:15 pm ---- I'm buying these, will let you know how they perform when I get them www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEU...2eb731f35a
#17: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: cheekyage, Location: AustraliaPosted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:31 am ---- So do you need the Bosch Aerotwin 21" (530mm) ones, not 22" (550mm)? Last edited by cheekyage on Sat Feb 22, 2014 3:29 am; edited 1 time in total
#18: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: dsiingh, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 6:40 am ---- 21" for aero blades and 22" for regular standard blades. Dont buy cheap buy quality, as I have learnt.
#19: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: cheekyage, Location: AustraliaPosted: Sun Feb 23, 2014 12:43 am ---- One of the wiper blades has a little spolier attached to it, pretty sure it's the original one from factory.
Do you guys keep this?
Looks like it attached to the wiper blade with a torx screw type.
Any info would be great!

Think you can only get a standard type for the rear. IIRC it's the plastic encased one, although you might find one of the metal ones fit.
£8 from Halfrauds and £7.99 from dealer (642392), and people say the dealers are a rip off
#22: Re: Wiper Blades... Author: josh263, Location: manchesterPosted: Mon Feb 24, 2014 12:13 pm ---- Used to work for them on the Bike section so hoping to use a old friends discount but cheers for the heads up would rather spend money there than at halfords if both same price!!
