proper replacement items better than original
I broke my wipers by turning them on whilst frozen and thought the worst. My go to is usually you tube because someone will have had it done and recorded it. I came across the X8R promo and decided to order them. Well they arrived a day earlier than estimated and were very straight forward to fit. It is quite obvious that this is a much better fitting than the factory originals (which in my case had pinged off breaking one on the snap on plastic cups) I would recommend this product as a replacement to original as someone has used thought and engineering know how to manufacture things better which is great.Vollständige Rezension lesen

The video tutorial is a must.
When I initially took these to mechanic to fit he thought they wouldn't fit as the end fittings were different to original. Contacted company who were very accommodating and helpful and started a return. During this I spotted the video tutorial and watched. Even me who struggles to fill the windscreen washer bottle saw how they would work so returned to garage and explained. I now have a set of working wipers! Cancelled return and couldn't be happier with product and with company. If I hadn't watched video and continued with return it would have cost me £150+vat for vauxhall part alone as there is no other alternative. Very happyVollständige Rezension lesen

Better than stock
After watching tge videos on how to fit these i thought would be simple as the video showed. Wasnt as easy as that for me (fitment wise easy peasy) the cover however, could not get off the front of the car.
I managed to fit these in situ, without removing the cover or window motor mount. However this was harder to do i used a wood working clamp to fit on as i couldnt get the grips they had in the gap i made.
Highly recommended product, definitely replace your stock with these before they actually go.
Unfortunately I didnt take pictures of these pre/post fitmentVollständige Rezension lesen

Wiper push rods replacement
Simple good quality kit. Took me about an hour to remove, fit and refit to the Vectra C. I busted my push rod arms by not freeing them in the last freeze. I hit the wiper arm by mistake and, (huge) bang. Four busted ball joints. This kit got me out of trouble and for the money its well worth it. I did find that the arms have to be trial fitted as one way they just popped off the ball joints. Turned round 180 degrees and they snapped into place and stayed there. I certainly recommend this kit. The worse part was re fitting the plastic valence that covers the mechanism which has no relation to the kit.
Get the right tools for the job and you will be laughing.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Don't skimp on cheaper alternatives. X8R all the way.
The main dealer doesn’t sell these and they want you to spend £150 + vat for the full mechanism when it’s just not necessary.
Mine failed 2 years ago and I bought a pair of these. They've been fine ever since. My partner's ones failed on her Signum last week and she was charged for the supply and fitting of a similar product via her mechanic. They were NOT of the same quality as these X8R ones, and were bent and making metal to metal contact before we even got home. I ripped them out and ordered another pair of these ones from X8R. Within 10 mins of them arriving, they were installed, and in full working order. I don't expect either car will have another issue during our ownerships.
MORAL: Don't waste your money on ANY OTHER product. They might come in chaper, but they won't be of the samd quality as these ones. Excellent.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Great wiper linkage solution!
This is a great product that looks like it will last. (By it's nature, not so easy to fit without removing the whole wiper assembly first.) Once on the bench, I used a mole-grip wrench to clip into place.
This is much better than the inferior spring clips that claim to hold the wiper linkage in place; so jump straight to this solution.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Very good design and well made
took longer to remove assembly but once out was very easy to fit new rods, old ones just fell off, cleaned ball joints and applied grease and just popped thee new ones on, very helpful video for those without mechanical knowledge to be able to replace them as well, very good and well pleased Vollständige Rezension lesen

Dearer but better.
I had recently purchased a cheaper set, the circlips were poor and came off when fitting and the bushes were very poor quality, as a consequence the rods flew off after 20 minutes constant use. These push rods fitted with a satisfying click when installed and to date after various times of use have not come off. It just shows you get what you pay for.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Great Product
Very easy to install. I was able to fit these insitu and could snap them on just using my hands with a moderate amount of force. Hopefully they will last the pace.

Job done and the wipers work perfectly. I'm very happy to recommend XBR and their excellent product.
It's probably not very often you're going to replace your wiper push rods and in my case, i've never done it to any of my many cars over the years. With a quick search of the internet, XBR came up showing a youtube video of exactly how to repair the faulty parts. With no initial clue, I bought the parts from XBR and fitted them easily. Job done and the wipers work perfectly. I'm very happy to recommend XBR and their excellent product.Vollständige Rezension lesen
