Correct Wiper blades for 2006 S Type?

Postby Mackie » Thu Sep 26, 2019 8:15 pm

Hi All,

A friend of mine is having a nightmare finding the right blades for his S Type. The existing ones just seem to be plain with a wide open pace to accommodate the U clip and the washer attachment secures it on. Yet, the Bosch blades he bought are not the right ones and Euro Car parts have been hopeless at finding the correct blade.

I told him I'd ask here because of the knowledgeable community. Can those of you in the know please help and advise?

Thanks.

Mac

I fitted the Bosch AR608S Aero Twin to my 2002 STR last time, found them to be pretty good, as far as I know they will fit later models. They came with the Washer Spray Bar fitted, which simply slides off for earlier Cars with Bonnet Jets.

Have a look here for info that may help...

Same as Doug on my X350.

Be aware that wiper blade lengths often differ as regards NS and OS lengths. This can be confusing. Don`t be surprised if you see differing lengths quoted! I recall sizes may be detailed in the car User Manual in the leather wallet.

I get mine off ebay There's always a list to see if the product you choose is compatible for your model / year ect. Measure your blades first because as Mike says different years of model have different length of blades. Also check with your Vin No in case someone has fitted the wrong size before you got the car .
