Need some new wiper blades, and have seen many a car around here with those new type flat blades fitted, and wondered if any of you have these type fitted, and if so, are they any good?
Thanks.

Had them on mine and they worked fine. However, I replaced them because of squeaky wipers. Replacements were old skool type from the Baxter Emporium. No better and no worse than the flat blades (including squeak).
The squeak transpired to be lack of lube on the actual spindle.
