Need wiper blades for the C5 2.2 estate

Post by Napoleon »

Front and back may as well be replaced (one of the fronts has perished.

What's the best shot for blades? Citroen dealer or elsewhere?

I always get my front ones from Citroen. That C5IIs and C5IIIs have standard fit aero wipers and special arms. I have tried some cheaper ones but they were terrible, missing bits of the screen and juddering. They lasted a few weeks before I got another new set from Citroen.

Keep an eye out on ebay, I just picked up a brand new pair of Citroen ones for less than £20 posted. They are £30+ from Citroen.

Our local dealer has a 'fixed price' menu, which I think might be a national initiative. Wipers are £29 a pair fitted for any Citroen. Maybe expensive for a Saxo but looks like good value for a C5 III or similar and probably astonishing value for a C4 PIcasso or other real big screen models.

I wonder if you took in a BX, as its a per pair price would you get a free spare one? Doubt it, but if you had 2 BXs then you could take them both in :-)
