What have you guys found to be the best windscreen wipers for the VT? My wipers have always been crap, so im looking for a top quality wiper to finally do a good job.
very good question. Bosch seem to be good.
Yeah I had ones that were always noisy, you know flip flap but the last ones I put on were ideal, really quiet and do a good job, but I forget if they're Aunger or Bosch.![]()
'Ah well, I suppose it had to come to this.'
ive got some bosch ones, i replaced the blade and the arm and they wonders, very silent but for 30 bucks a side theyd wana be!
i dono what brand mine are, (same on the car wen i bought it) but there damn good![]()
I cant remember the brand but i bought them from Kmart.
Were the most expensive priced at i think were $12 a pair.
Their twin blade silicone
are they standard ones you get from holden bosch???? or are they crap?

I had to replace the ones on my VP, and the supercheap I went into only had those stupid coloured Aunger ones. Worst pair of wiper blades I ever bought, they squeek, they squeel and they jump and thud against the windscreen. The only time they are silent is if the car is submerged in water. Couldn't get rid of them fast enough. I hope no one else experienced the same thing with them.
i have bosch man my mate gave them to me he didnt want them they work fine![]()
I use OEM Trico. They work really well and are silent in operation. Although in saying this, it depends on the condition of your windscreen to a degree with regards to them grabbing and jumping about also.
Trico are OEM on alot of Holdens and people sometimes don't change blades for years but then they go out and buy a cheap as, ugly looking bright silicone ones that are cr#p. Why not spend a little bit of time and wonder why manufacturers blades lasted so long in the first place....probably because they were half decent items.
So if you have had a set of blades on your commodore from new and its been a few years and they seem to be okay still, but you just want a brand new set, then why not go to Kmart or the like and buy another set of Trico premium metal backed blades and you will see that for the cost of approx $10 each or thereabouts, they are a decent product.
It just amazes me why people don't realise that things like wipers are a necessity and not a fashion statement and going cheap just doesn't cut it.
I have never used Bosch, but if they are $30 a side, then I couldn't and wouldn't justify them for that price unless somehow they can last 3 times longer and perform 3 times better than Trico, but I doubt that.
I tried bosh on another car, bloody good wipers. Replaced the whole thing cost about $24.
I have had only 2 sets on the VX SS in 8 years, both original Holden ones and never had a problem with them, not sure what brand they use.
I bought a pair from Auto Barn.... They are that good.. that when they go one way, they take all the water, so on the way back they squeak coz its dry!!.. So I'd recommend some average ones.. lol
Also.. a small rock must have got caught on the actual blade, coz now I have a grinded mark from the stone around my front window.. grr
The ones I got arent bosh.
Their the best of the best but for all of humainity I cant remember the name of them
edit: I think their aunger
Aunger red white black oval shape logo ?. They are good for refills also.
I got these graphite ones from super cheap auto grey in colour they are compatible to all cars come long so u can cut em and are very smooth and last ages!
I got some arms and blades off ebay for about $40, they have the dual spoiler thing, surprisingly made a huge difference to my original arms and blades (would have been trico teflon wiper blades too) but i think my arms had started to bend from just being old, so these ones work great, it's a shame they look gay though lol.
