cant quite put my finger on it but something tells me the PIAA wipers are good 
thanks for all the tips guys, never thought a wiper thread would get so much interest, is it because we are british ?
I will try the crimping tip as suggested above, hopefully that works and if not then it will be some PIAA silicone ones

I second these PIAA silicone wiper blades. When you first change the blades you clean the screen with special wipes then run the wipers on a dry screen for 5 minutes to coat it with silicone. Going down the motorway in the rain you don't need the wipers, the water just flies off!
And they give no noise at all.

great if it's daylight and raining, but at night i got a cloud like smear that dried in half a second but you couldn't see a bloody thing until it cleared. it was safer to not use the wipers at all!
i'll accept that i didn't apply/prep correctly, but if it's that easy to **** up i can't be the only one that's struggled. oh, and it's damn near impossible to clean it off, tried everything. was even tempted to put a brick through the screen (seriously) it was that annoying.
anyone want a nearly full bottle?

Can someone give me the exact size of the wiper blades on a 2006 Hawkeye STi? On my car there appears to be a remarkably small blade on the passenger side and when I search for blades online they seem to vary in size depending on the manufacturer.
I would like to upgrade to the flat blades. Any recommendations (other than PIAA)?
