Back and forth, back and forth — no wonder windscreen wipers
get worn. Blade manufactures recommend replacing the blades every 12 months, in our experience they usually last 2 or 3 yearsIn any event if you're struggling to see in the rain, it's past time to get new ones. This is a fast, easy, low-cost upgrade that will seriously improve your safety, so no excuses for waiting.
Here are some other signs that new wiper blades are in order:
- Streaking or hazing on the screen when it rains.
- A chattering sound when your wipers are on. This noise means they're not swiping smoothly, but jumping about.
- The blades are pulling away from the screen at higher speeds, instead of sitting snugly against it.
- The rubber has split into sections or pulled away from the
wiper arm. This can cause a slapping sound when you turn on the wipers.
- The rubber edge looks worn or torn in places and may be discoloured.
Wiper blades can be changed on most vehicles in minutes without any tools required
