Windscreen Wipers

[Gorb]

Spotted a deal for genuine Lexus front and rear wipers with screen wash and an ice scraper for £40. 3 wipers from Lexus is approx £33 + VAT. 3 wipers from Halfords is approx £26. I don't need the screen wash or ice scraper so is it worth the extra to get "genuine" Lexus wipers?

maybe with later age cars for sure .  I used to buy them and they lasted about 3 years 40k miles or so, THEN one time they only lasted a year .  methinks the older stock was perishing / becoming less pliable etc, in it's packaging on the shelf !
