Spotted this and wondered if it's another ebay con or if it really does make a difference.

I seem to remember Nic pimping these a while ago - they certainly look nicer than the standard ones, this "contact" point stuff sounds like bumholes to me though, as long as the blade is against the screen along it's entire length I'm not too fussed.

A little more detail about the design. Apparently they are made specifically for the car in question... therefore I'm not going to trust someone selling them on ebay! :)

Still performing well, they are very smooth and do a great job of wiping the screen.

Standard on VAG group cars these days. Very good according to my colleague with a Suberb.

Yep we had these on our R32 golf and they were really good.

There is.

Do a search with the drop down menu towards the bottom. Not bad prices either.

I have a set of these on my car that I purchased from Nic. They work great and look really good too. ;)
