Has anyone here replaced the wipers (front and rear) on their Niro yet? I really need to replace the rear one (damaged by those stupid white stick-on letters with the website of the garage along the top edge of the rear window, which have recently been removed!!) and have found that one fairly easily (Bosch A300H), but I'm stumped by the front ones. They have a kind of plastic spoiler on them which I initially thought was just a cover that would clip off and fit over the metal frame of the replacement wiper, but on closer inspection it's all part of the same structure.
Bosch have a set with the larger 26" one of the two with the spoiler built in (SP26S) but the smaller 16" one is a standard metal frame (SP16). Googling SP16S, which I assume would be the equivalent one with a spoiler doesn't return anything useful so it looks like it doesn't exist which is odd. They do an Aerotwin retrofit version though which I may have to go for but would prefer the normal design, as I find the longer Aerotwins don't tend to work that well especially at the far end.
I don't really want to pay Kia main dealer rates for OEM ones, so any suggestions?
