Bosch wipers achieve ‘clean sweep’ in Auto Express

Bosch has followed up its Auto Express ‘Best Buy’ verdict for its Aerotwin wiper blade with a ‘Best Buy’ recommendation for its Super Plus blades in a product test looking at conventional blades. The magazine tested the Bosch Super Plus blades against competitors’ products, noting its “excellent performance” and that they were also one of the quietest blades. Auto Express concluded that “there’s no stopping Bosch” when it comes to wiper blades.

Bosch Super Plus blades are made with high-quality dual rubber, with a soft rubber spine giving them an effective flip-over function and a hard rubber wiping edge to ensure the best performance on the screen. The blades also have an internal tensioning strip that distributes pressure evenly across the length of the blade to match the curvature of the screen.

The nearly noiseless performance noted by Auto Express is a result of precise pin joints connecting the wipers to the screen, meaning the rotation of the blades is close to silent. Any noise from the blade moving on the screen at high speed is reduced by the full-length wiper spoiler, which provides down force to keep it close to the screen.

Auto Express also praised the pre-mounted universal 'Quick-Clip’ adapter on the Super Plus blades, which means that they will fit 85 percent of vehicle applications – avoiding the need to search for the right clip for a specific vehicle.
