   very easy to fit. they look modern but i don't know if they are any better than standard from what i've found.

   If they're like the ones in the ebay link, then they simply reduce air noise over the wiper as it deflects it away from the screen slightly.
   
   Mainly just for the looks though.
   
   Nearly all new cars have these on them.

   Yeah i don't think its much to do with noise, more the fact that its stops the wipers coming away from the screen at high speed. they are very good and i would never go back to standard wipers.

    I never used to like them but have grown on me tbh. I like the wiper arms sticking out where the wiper blade sits for some reason lol.

    They're all essentially the same. And the ebay ones do work.
