I think I was just being dumb; this car is the first in ages which I've kept long enough to need a wiper change. I had already bought a Bosch replacement wiper for the rear window of my car and it was easy to fit and did a good job. The wipers for my car had a 'warning' that the new blades are about 1 cm shorter than the factory originals, but this is not noticeable in use. Flat wiper blades are increasingly being fitted as standard to new cars and if this type of wiper blade was fitted to your vehicle from new, they can only be replaced with the same type of flat wiper blades.

The Flat style wiper blade use bracketless technology and internal spring strips, which replace the conventional metal frame.The retrofit flat wiper blades we offer all have integrated adaptors that take the conventional hooked shape wiper arm. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

BUT I wanted to avoid the use of adapters if possible; so 'AeroTwin' rather than 'AeroTwin Plus (Universal)'. These spring strips ensure consistent high pressure across the entire length of the blades, pushing the blades on to the windscreen to avoid any wet patches during operation that could inhibit your vision — and it does it all without juddering or squeaking.
