As a result of the recent cold weather, I need a replacment wiper blade (just the rubber not the actual arm). Can I just pick these up from Halfords, or should I go to a dealer?

Thumbs up

Anywhere that sells wiper blades.
Just for interest, I bought Bosch at large expense, and they have been CR*P.

As I have an import, I bought my replacement blades at Halfords and I cannot fault them - front and rear screens. I can't imagine what more expensive versions have to offer...

I'm currently using the Halfords replacement rubbers on a set of Subaru wipers, and they're crap. For the sake of saving a tenner or so, it's just not worth it.

but surprisingly the Halfords "arm" - i.e. springs etc, not just the rubber bit - are quite good!

I've had the rubber blades only previously - drivers side split in < 6 months
