First Impression: Bosch Aerotwin


Replaced the aging DuraEdge wipers last week. They don't make them like they used to. These are just barely 2 years. Compared to the DuraEdge I used to use on the Kenari, those lasted me well over 5 years till I sold the car.


RM90 pair of Bosch Aerotwin took the old spot where the DuraEdge used to be. Got them at the usual place - Double Champion. Still find the looks quirky in my opinion.


The Aerotwins had its first chance at action today.The rain was light enough to give the new Aerotwins something to do. The very first thing observed was how quiet it was on the glass. I almost forgot I had the wipers on. 


The Bosch Aerotwins are very very quiet workers. Wonder how long will they keep with this performance before showing signs of needing replacement.

Update 12/12/12: The overdued update to this. I'm sticking back to silicon wipers. Currently using SWFs'. The Aerotwins started to cause hazing wiping oil residue all over my windscreen. Windshield cleaners don't help much.
