Does anyone else have problems with their windscreen wipers not doing their fucking job and wiping the windscreen? My passenger side has always been dodgy (as in it misses a large section of the window) and the driver's side has a bit of a gap now too. I've tried bending them down to no avail. Any thoughts?

make sure that the wiper blade is not tight in the wiper head. if it is tight it is unable to bent to suite the shape of the windscreen,
had alot of trouble with wiper blades at work on the trucks and this was the issue with them, worth a try.

Is there anyone here who's a Bosch distributor?? I found codes for the "evolution" blades (Aerotwin in Australia?) to suit a GS300 and they're only 25 each so I figured I can give them a go, they look really nice too

They are crap! If your spending that sort of money, go for the Tridon Flexiblades. They kick arse. Side note. its what the V8 supercars use... All you have to do is take your old ones in and get the same lengths in the hook style. They are $30 each on special at super cheap til the 7th of June.
shit.............warfare.......all u have to do fella...is go into an autobarn store, and ask
for the new type all plastic /rubber arms they sell ,all toyota,s have the same fitment..!!!
u just need to tell them the length for driver/passanger..!!!
these are fkn great fella.....have fitted them on all my cars/van....!!!!
cost about $24 to $26 per arm ...and being there is ...NO ...metal in them,
u can never scratch the screen....!!!!....and we all know how easy it is to get another screen...!!!
all the best.......nick....

okay, here's the dealy-o - these one piece arms DON'T fit the Aristo, due to the tight clearances with the bonnet and the retracting mechanism. Even when set to not retracted, the arms hit the bonnet. Goddamn.
EDIT - Upon further inspection, I still think the Bosch ones may work! The clip section is a lot lower profile and may just clear bonnet when retracted! Soo... anyone get good prices on Bosch bits?? hehe

Yeah I know, there definitely are ones that will fit... just that these Tridon brand ones definitely don't. I reckon the Bosch/Bosch knockoffs will be okay, because the clip is a far slimmer design. I was hesitant in the shop. They worked well at wiping my windscreen though. Gonna exchange them for the other type tomorrow and see how we go.

Ahh yeah they're fair different clip attachment to what I got (way better and more slimline than the ones I picked up)... what brand / part number are they?
