Think you've got the wrong ones there mate, mine looked the same as in the picture Jack posted. I seem to remember there are two types for the flat style blade on the ECP website.

There are :

Bosch Wiper Blade (Left) Flat Wiper Blade Exact Fit Single AM16U
Bosch Wiper Blade (Right) Flat Wiper Blade Exact Fit Single AM22U

The correct ones (or at least the ones I got were):

Bosch Wiper Blade (Left) Flat Wiper Blade Upgrade 16 Inch
Bosch Wiper Blade (Flat Wiper Blade Upgrade 22 Inch)

It's the RetroFit Flat Blade Upgrades you are looking for, not the exact fit.

FFST to the rescue again

I've upgraded to these blades, they are so much better than the old design, highly recommended!

Yeah I've seen those smooth ones on eBay which are fine, but I want one with the aero blade if possible, sure I've seen one somewhere
