MIkeyv60 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have damaged a windscreen wiper during the recent frosty weather, now leaves a smear in the drivers eye view. Now what would you do? Genuine Porsche ones £55 or Bosch flat twin blade £22 . The spoiler on the Porsche one is more angled and to the side whereas the Bosch ones the spoiler is central.Does it matter? Apparently the Porsche ones have carbon edges Decisions decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 For the sake of £55 on a near new car i would go for the oem Porsche replacement, unless it turns out to be a Bosch blade reboxed? If i was lucky enough to own a 718 i would want it to be as it left the factory, also if you ever have any windscreen issues i guarantee they will blame your non Porsche replacement blade to wriggle out of the warranty ?

Menoporsche Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 On a 60k car less than a year old? OEM. ...yer tightwad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefocke Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Bosch. Who gives a flying if it is OEM, it is if it works. What happened to the blade that it smears? They sell kits for cleaning the edge of the "rubber". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIkeyv60 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 The pic on the Bosch box shows the same type of spoiler as the Porsche but the blade inside is not. Did a windscreen wipe and the blade was frozen to the screen . schoolboy error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny A Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Whilst my heart says OEM my head says Bosch, I mean how much different can it be and I doubt you’ll see the difference when fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
