Winter Is Coming

[Guest]

Just bought a whole set of Wiper Blades for the IQ for £10.07, I don't think these are the original Denso ones that Toyota uses, but they look and feel exactly the same. Posting the link here if anyone wants a set before winter comes.

I bought a set of Bosch ones for £17, much better than the one I had on...

Ah, how better are they? I've heard good things about PIAA Wiper Blades too. Did do replace the wiper rubber blade itself or the plastic/metal part too?

I bought the Bosch Aerotwin blades, much better than what I had on...

Not entirely sure what has happened, either the snow or ice has destroyed this rear wiper (or it's bad quality), so I can't recommend this rear wiper anymore. I have ordered Bosch H281 specific for the IQ rear wiper, it's still not OEM but as far as wipers go, Bosch seem to be pretty good. I'll follow up on this if anyone wants to know. Links below.

So did I recently, and a Toyota original for the rear.

Minus 9.9 here this morning.

Very small amount of ice on the inside of the windows, never seen that in 24 years of living here!

But then I am much further north. (Bedfordshire)

... and back to Winter again.

Gave my IQ a good 'treating' underneath and gave it a wash and (Bilt Hamber ) wax on top.
