Pretty much in need to get mine changed asap as mine long gone!!

I have used this seller numerous times, and they are good.

Hmm, I didn’t even look for wiper blades from this seller,
Where I have purchased numerous other mechanical parts/items from them over the last few years.

I only use the GM/Delco for the VE.
So I can`t comment on other brands for VE.
I do use Supercheap for one of the VS Wagons.

Try “Wipertech” very,very good.Cheers:):)
I bought Wipertech blades for my wagon. The rear window blade wouldn't sit hard against the glass They posted out 2 more replacements, same issue . Ended buying genuine GM, perfect fit no issue.

'09 VE SS UTE
I put new blades on the SS and the middle of the passenger side wiper still doesn't touch the screen. Do I need to bend the actual arm itself to put more pressure down?

edit: a slight bend didnt change anything :/
