    You’ll find that many, if not most people use after market wipers. The only problem I see with that is the non genuine ones don’t have a felt side and although they last longer, they flick ink about rather than absorbing it, therefore causing quite a mess inside the wiper assemblies. Which is fine for you lot but it’s a pig of a job for us engineers :lol1: :lol1:
