Jim, take them back to Halfords- they will send them back to head office as FAGO, and give you new ones... May even give you the Bosch ones as goodwill...

Absolutely Definately Unquestionably, PIAA Super Silicone Wipers. They are about £18ish each, but are the bollocks. They never sqeak, never judder and leave a film on the screen which acts in a similar way to Rain-X.
