Hi guys,

I'm having an absolute nightmare trying to source replacement wipers for my 60 plate Astra J.

I've had three sets so far, all A585S Bosch Aerotwins.

They have clips as per below, not what my current Bosch wipers have.





They will fit, but they don't clip into place, they just don't slide down enough.

Anyone else had this issue? The box even has my car written on it to say they are a direct fit... Help!

Ps, Tried Vauxhall.. They want £70 for a pair of blades!
Cheers
