Sorry if this has been posted before, did anyone find flat blade wipers for the FFRR's windshield? I searched for an equivalent and I found that the same fixing system was used on some Audis (A4, A8), but the blade is shorter (55cm, ours are 64cm). I would really like to put some modern wipers on...

Do you mean these by any chance

No. This is a rear wiper: Range Rover '02 on Aero REAR Flat WIPER BLADE
I want the 2 front ones.
Thank you.

This any good then

Thank you for the link. However these ABD wipers seem to be normal ones, not flat...

Still no luck, searched everywhere, I suppose if flat wipers would fit Land Rover would've installed them at least on MY 2010...

You take one oar and i'll take the other ..... thought it was just me that was thick ...

Here is a photo of my old Discovery 3 original flat wiper compared to the FFRR one.
The flat ones are lighter, more aerodinamic and have no metal parts. Almost all car makers are using them now.

And do they work okay even at speed, kind of look flimsy to me ......

They worked flawlessly for almost 3 years, I replaced them just before selling the car.
In the next photo one can understand why it's so difficult to replace the wipers with non-OEM ones. The upper wiper is the front one and the lower is the rear one. The latter has the usual fitting while the front wipers are thinner.

I replaced my front wipers a month ago at great expense at a dealer as no one else seemed to do them, it cost me £34 but the difference is amazing and makes me wonder why I'd not done it sooner, much quieter sweep of the screen.

My wife's BMW 330D has those flat blades, they do last a long time and are very quiet. Discovery 4 HSE

LR Centre in Liverpool sell normal (not flat) front wipers at 15 quid each, I think they are genuine parts too - Land Rover stickers on the bags. www.lrparts.net. Just got some today. [/list]

Expensive, and useless in cold/snow. As I can testify, since we have -10C here. There is a "winter" model from LR at 50 EUR I believe...
