Not long ago there was a special offer from GSF car parts, something like 50% off. Mine were due and got a pair for under a tenner. They fit as OE, and work fine. If they do the job for a year or two, at the price I paid, that’s fine.

Mine have lasted 6 years although winter months it has always been in Spain so not really used.
On the 6 year health check it was flagged up as needed, but I still can't see any deterioration, maybe a slight smearing on the passenger side, but as the wife is always that side what's the problem😂
Porsche offered to fit new blades at a very reasonable £75😱
I will change them but Porsche certainly won't get to fit them the theiving *******.

Just had second replacement rear blade fitted on ours. OPC wouldn’t entertain a warranty claim.

Use a Bosch next time. They last much longer.
