Has anybody ordered wipers not from the dealer? I bought mine 6 months ago from my bulgarian dealer and they're already rubbish. They were something like 17 euro  both. Today had a trip to Austria and went to check the price in the local dealer. After some head shaking and waving, trying to explain me, he speaks absolutely no english, finally understood, that I wouldn't spell not a single word in german either, and in perfect english claimed 53 euro for the front set. I made a big smile and walked straight out, blessing his entire genealogy in my mind. Any body with such experience, buying from Alibaba, Amazon or whatever?

Not replaced ours  yet but when it's time I will be going to an aftermarket store and buying a set from an established manufacturer.
Don't forget, Renault don't make wiper blades.

I did replaced them twice... I did that every year (12 months) of usage. I use Wurth replacement blades, like 25-30 EUR for set. Satisfied with them, altought in speed greater then 130km/h a driver blade (longer) has some problem on left edge (not enough pressure on windshield).

I also replace them once a year. The first set lasted that long. On my previous Scenic, I was very happy with the original set, which were Valeo and also lasted a year, having in mind, I'm very pretentious bout wipers.

The long front one is exactly the same. The rear fits perfectly, but the front short one is an inch shorter. The were recommended from 3-4 guys in our local forum.
