I bought from an offline shop here in Calcutta but it should be available online too. Try the usual suspects like Flipkart or Amazon or even Boodmo for that matter. The frameless ones look cool too.

Could you list the name of the shop please ? Also do the wipers have any specific model ?
I too have been looking for wipers. For some strange reason almost all the wipers I use tend to streak in some way or form. I have tried to clean the windshield with many different types of products including rubbing alcohol with no luck.
If you know of a solution that actually works please do let me know.

After reading the recommendation here, I bought the Schaffler wipers from Motrpart Online. The shipping was delayed as it was out of stock while the site showed it to be available. But they are performing well without any noise or streaks on the glass.

Although the brand is Schaffler, they are imports from China.

The shop is near HP petrol pump, Mominpur and it is named United Auto Center but I am sure you will get the wipers at any reputed auto parts dealer across Calcutta. You can mention the car model and they will provide the best fit accordingly. Hope that helps.

Just ordered the same ones today for my Lexus. Yes the nano and Lexus share the same wiper
However it’s cheaper on Amazon. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B06WP6...b_b_prod_image

I’ve found Amazon quick and cheap for wiper blades. Availability is sometimes and issue but most often you find most car accessories you are looking for from reputed brands.

Doesn't your car need a pair? Where one stalk is shorter than the other?

I thought only Nano has a single stalk wiper.

Yes ofc it needs a pair. Hence they sell single ones so you make your own pair. Other one was 18inch that I ordered.

As does my etios. I am happy with the OE toyota wiper. I find the hybrid mechanism offers better coverage than the frameless one
https://boodmo.com/catalog/part-blad...er_rh-6759409/

Toyota offers refill of just the rubber which is great value.
https://boodmo.com/catalog/part-blad...er_rh-6759409/ Etios part no
https://boodmo.com/catalog/part-rubb...er_rh-6759383/ Lexus part no

Re: The 'Wiper Blade' Thread

Pathetic quality of Bosch Frameless blades
After having a fantastic experience with Valeo Frameless wipers on different cars including my Slavia, I swapped to Bosch Frameless since the price was similar and wanted to try out something new. But within a month of use, not even with rain, the main 26 inch blade has given up right at the center, creating this horrible residue of water every wipe. Switching back to Valeo for good.

Bosch quality has taken a serious hit after they switched to cheap Chinese stuff. The earlier Aerotwin range was superb, but they pulled the plug on German imports and decided to go for cheaper Chinese ones.
The Clear Advantage from Bosch hardly worked for a season in my Baleno. I can understand how the cheapest Eco series will work.
The Michelin I have now is working flawlessly in it's second year. Do give it a try as an alternate to Valeo.

Yes same with me for Ecosport. I thought Amazon have given me duplicate product. The clear advantage I had earlier was definitely better.

Can you please tell us if it can be installed on the J or U hook?

I am planning to buy these and give it a try, so before I place an order just wanted to confirm the compatibility.

Thanks.

Mine is a U type and hence it should be compatible with most of the cars,

Thank you for the information.

Can I know how are the blades holding up? Is it better than other brands like Bosch? It would be great to see how they are working since you have been using them for quite a period of time.

Thanks.
