Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

You might think the instructions here would not be very clear, given thousands of motorists pay Halfords to fit blades. But these were among the best.

The clip was compact and can’t be fitted the wrong way, even though the spoiler is symmetrical. Fine lines and small smears in the wipe test mean it has to settle for third.
