The reason that they're good is that they're an OE supplier. Check your blade assemblies, if the rivets are all loose, then replace the blade. If it still feels tight, then it should be okay with a metal backed refill. Cheers, Steve

The only single issue Ive found is that they are not black. Its quite strange when you first use them as they kind of GLARE past your eyes beign white. Only takes a little while. Dont seem to degreade in the sun. In Brisbane I go through a set of blades every 6 months due to the rubber not being used a lot, harsh sun and the masses of road works around here at the moment. |
