Moderators PTR200S Posted March 9, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Be interested to see how they get on over time...... I elected to go the Bosch route as i did with the Tourer.... They are ok but not as good as ones i have had in past, don't make 'em like they used to !!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about it when I was driving in a biblical downpour on the M6 last night !! Wipers on full and just coping, rear wiper on as well....dirty buggers, Elysion!!🤣🤣 Probably need to consider changing the front ones.....apparently the 28 inch version will fit the drivers side rather than 26 inch..leave passenger at 24 inch though to prevent wiper having intimate relations !!!!

Moderators PTR200S Posted January 8, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 In the interests of the members I have ordered a Heyner wiper just to see if they are any good...we have discussed the, sadly, deteriorating quality of the popular blades like Bosch and Michelin elsewhere....just got to try something else. I want to see if the 28 inch blade is a suitable upgrade for the standard 26 inch blade on the Elysion driver side, the wipe area is a little bit short at the top of the screen...maybe an inch will help......swmbo says it will.....🤐🤐🤐 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted January 10, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 OK, new wiper fitted today, had to take the old wiper to arm bracket off the Bosch wiper as , despite about eight different fittings, the Heyner one didn't fit the Elysion arm as its pretty long on the return curve of the arm and the Heyner bracket is too short. Blade feels good and the extra inch of wipe at the top of the screen now clears water from in front of the dash cam. It's made in Germany.....apparently.... Testing this week !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted February 13, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just to say the wiper is working well and the extra inch in the sweep,at the top, now clears the screen in front of my dash cam !! Yes, I know, move the camera !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted January 29 Moderators Report Share Posted January 29 It's now a year down the line since the Heyner blade was fitted.... This morning I noticed it is getting really noisy, not so much shuddering but a general noise overall. It's still cleaning efficiently but is coming to the end I think.... Not sure what to replace it with as all wiper seem to be crap now ,,,or is it the road deterioration, pot holes, surface stones etc creating detritus that gets on the screen and wrecks the rubber ?
