Wiper Blades replacement
#1
![Question](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Yesterday during the rain the wipers started leaving a huge 2" streak. Today, I discovered that the drive's side wiper ripped and the passenger's side is about to die as well.
Never had a car with the OEM wipers ripped especially my windshield is coated and I rarely use the wipers. Anyway, did anyone have a luck replacing OEM wipers with aftermarket ones? I searched the UK forum and some folks seem happy with Bosch Aerotwin not available in the USA per recommendation sizes 28/17.

I bought OEM blades from the local Jaguar dealer, (they are only just up the road, less than a mile). To be honest, they are definitely not the best I've used, as they make a rather loud click at the end of each stroke, yet clear the screen OK. As a matter of interest, I was nearly driven mad by the blades on my 2009 MG TF. They chattered abominally when in use so much so, that I wanted to stop until the rain eased off !! I finally found a pair on the internet that completely cured the chattering problem, making the car much easier to live with in this wet island of the United Kingdom. I think we must have had a century's worth of rain in the last 3 months !

Initially I thought it's my rain repellent causing the wipers chatter. Somehow I lived with it for a while. During the rain barely using the wipers which in some conditions can be dangerous but this noise was getting on my nerves, and now they fell apart. Just went to Advanced Auto Parts they don't have 17 OE I guess @mazon it is.
