Ftting Bosch Aerotwin blades

[Tom Rae]

My 2009 T5 has conventional hook type wiper arms and I would like to fit Bosch Aerotwins but they seem to have a side fitting. Is it necessary to change the arms or does someone do a conversion kit?

They appear to come with a range of fittings/adapters

Interesting, the one listed for my T5 is A 939S, it is listed on the pack however it came without and additional fittings and this led me to believe it may require different arms?

I have Aero Twins on my Ranger and it has hook type arms the blades fit fine so you must be able to get them for a Cali.

I think I will have to look for 24" ones with a hook fitting, they do seem to be available. Thanks.

I've just bought Heyner wiper blades. £23 for all three delivered. Very happy with them. I used to always buy Bosch, but don't think I'll be going back to Bosch now,

Seem to recall a similar part number problem a few years back when trying to get ones for a LR discovery 4.
I think that they do a universal fitting one as well as vehicle specific ones.
Also remember buying some cheaper brand which broke off at the arm attaching point one frosty morning, brittle plastic.

I have discovered the problem. What I ordered was a replacement blade which presumed I had the correct arms whereas I should have ordered a retrofit blade Bosch AR 24 U which fits on the existing u shaped arms. The vendor was also unaware of this but they did accept my return. I think I will now go and have a quiet lie down but first, thanks for your help!.
