I did a search and couldn't find a match here.

What is the best brand of wiper blades and specs for the F-type?

Thanks

 

Never ending debate about the best brand, but I for one prefer Bosch AeroTwin, I've used them for years across a number of cars, so when the ones currently on my car wear out that's what I will be getting. That said, the ones on my car are brilliant and don't look like wearing out any time soon, I don't know if they are the original blades or not, and they have absolutely no markings on them so I don't know what brand they are.
The correct F-Type sizes are 22"/550mm and 21"/530mm.

 

my standby used to be Bosch Icon, but on my XF they juddered all over the placed. I read somewhere that Valeo was the OE manufacturer for Jaguar, so I grabbed a set for my XF and they were perfect.

Haven't replaced the blades on the F-Type however.

 

Another vote for Bosch Icon here. Hands down the best wipers I have ever used on any car. I've tried others and always regretted it.

 

The OEM blades seem to be pretty damned good. I'll go with those when the time is right.
C2P1270 & C2P1268. Less than $17 each delivered (eBay).

 

I'll put a vote in for Rain-X Latitude. Available on Amazon.

 

+1 I think the OEM ones work very well

 

anyone ever tried those blade resurfacing tools on ebay? it trims off about 1mm of the the blade that is worn and jagged and gives you a brand new flat edge, I think for the cost of less than one blade I might try it when mine get close to being finished

 

21" and 22"

Guess I'll try the Icons. The searches for OEM blades seem to be the same price and are just the rubber piece.

Dave - I am a cheap SOB, but not THAT cheap!

Yeah, I was thinking, even I'm not that cheap... BUT, that actually looks pretty cool, and I'm all for keeping more crap outta the landfill. Wonder if it really works?

 

Before you buy, check what the connector block looks like on aftermarket blades. Some look like an erector set piece, so they can fix multiple connector styles. IIRC, the Rain-X is one of them. Bosch Icon looks OK (and the blades work great), but (IIRC) they are not as sleek as the OEM.

Oem. Ive taken lots of crappy aftermarket blades off over the years. I use oem on my jaguars and the nissan too
