GR Yaris Bosch Wiper Blade Upgrade

I really don't feel confident in fitting them upside down, I have trouble changing these bloody things standing upright

I wasn't able to find any Bosch aerotwin AR139s in my country.

Bosch's BBA400 (400mm) and BBA600 (600mm) aerotwin wipers fit the RHD version perfectly.

Since this thread has been resurrected, I've switched back to the OEM blades as I disliked seeing the arm of the wiper poking up above the scuttle window line with the Bosch ones.

They didn't whistle or add any appreciable wind noise but I thought it looked cack.

The OEM wipers sit lower so when at rest are all but invisible. No appreciable difference in wiping, really, and they last about the same time, ~12 months.

I know what you mean, i switched to Bosch whilst they do work better they look odd...

Only last 12 months, you need to clean your windscreen more often. I've just changed mine after nearly 3 years

Hi guys, after nearly getting into 20 000km territory with pretty harsh winter experience my wipers are showing signs of well needed retirement
On my previous car I was running aerotwins and I was happy, I am planning to buy them for Yaris as well however I wanted to ask are AR139s up to date or did Bosch change their number?

I am trying to find them in shops in my region, however I cannot find this exact model at all. There are plenty of 600/400 aerotwins available, some stating that they would fit but I am not sure. Most common model I've found is AR601S, it states that they should fit GXPA16 (I assume in this case gen2 is identical). Cheers!

My original wipers were fine (March 2022 car) but they did eventually wear out. I replaced with Bosch Aerotwins and they are great.

I recently put some Heyner Hybrid wipers on our other car and they too are absolutely fantastic. Definitely worth considering as an alternative.
