No Bosch Wipers for the Swift yet?

satish_appasani · 26th June 2006, 11:00

I have recently put Bosch wipers on the windshield of my Palio. They work damn good compared to OEM Syndicate.

The driver side wiper from Bosch is shorter by an inch or so compared to OEM. But it's ok. I didn't have any problem because of that. So far I drove in the rains from Small drizzling to medium showers after fixing the new wipers. No issues so far. Instead the 'put put' sound caused when the longer OEM wiper made when it got on to the A pillar on the driver side is no more there because of the shorter wiper.

For members from Hyderabad, i bought Bosch wipers from Bosch Service center located next to Hi-King restuarant in Hyderguda.

@ khaddu...! You could pick up Boch spares from Batra Auto located at Ashram Flyover..! Some shops in Khan market would also have the same..! However at Batra I've seen many Bosch Spares like Batteries,Wipers,Horns,Relays etc.
