Tim and Dot Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Anyone found an alternative supplier than Caterham for a pair of wiper blades for an S3. £9.30 each + pp is a bit steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bricol Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 They do tend to last a long time though.Flippin' things for my Alfa are close to 40 quid for a good name pair from a discount supplier.And then I discover theres a bottom stop on the arm - so when its aged a bit and the mounts flex, the reason the screen isn't wiping so well is theres no pressure on the blade any more - a quick attack with two pairs of pipe wrenches to bend the arm and put some pressure on the blade and I have a clear screen again . . .

Benton Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 If you want a pair of wiper blades that actually work rather than the half hearted attempt the Caterham ones provide I recommend you try the equivalent size Car Builder Solutions ones Unfortunately they are more like £20 a pair and only come in chrome, but this is easily rectified with a black rattle can. Used them for over two years on previous car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I thought the Caterham ones worked pretty well really - my car gets used in all weathers over the last 20yrs and I've no complaints. Think I;ve had 3 or 4 sets in that time. Falling snow is a pain as it builds up at the ends of the wiper stroke and restricts the arc - but that's due to the near vertical screen more than the blades.They tend to wear out nice and evenly on the flat screen, so last a good while.
