Need to replace the blades on my 2005 Zafira and have discovered 'flat' blades.
For £5 or so more than conventional ones I can get retrofit flat ones...
are they that much better? Is it worth it?
Not too worried about fuel consumption - only do low mileage - more interested in whether they clean better...
(ANYTHING will clean better than the current knackered ones though :D )

They don't clean any better, but they are more sympathetic to heavily curved screens and they are better in the winter as they have no steel frame to seize up with ice.
Personally I do use them when I can.

I have had a set of these flat blades on my 2001 Astra for the past year, and have just bought another pair. They work certainly as well as the originals, and appear to be more resilient to lifting at speed. All in all, for under £6 on e-bay (for the pair), pretty good value.
