Description

Give Your Windscreen the Royal Kiwi Treatment: TRICO Wiper Blades!
> Look, we all know our windscreens take a beating out there. Wiper blades aren't just bits of rubber; they're your first line of defence against a messy view, constantly battling rain, dust, and whatever else our beautiful New Zealand weather throws at them. Over time, that rubber gets a bit knackered from the sun, the cold, and all that hard work, leading to annoying streaks, chattering, and a visibility nightmare – especially for those slick European rides tackling our diverse driving conditions.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Streaks or smears left on the windscreen after wiping.
• Squeaking, chattering, or skipping noises during operation.
• Unwiped areas or poor contact with the glass.
• Cracked, torn, or hardened rubber on the blade element.
• Reduced visibility during rain or spray, making driving unsafe.
Will it pass WOF?
No. Faulty or ineffective wiper blades that do not clear the windscreen adequately will result in a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) failure. Clear visibility is a fundamental safety requirement in New Zealand.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 2/10 (Easy)
Estimated Time: 5-15 minutes
Tools Required: None (possibly a flathead screwdriver for some older clip types, but generally tool-free).

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Windshield Protection: When the wiper arm is bare, place a folded towel on the windscreen to prevent the spring-loaded metal arm from snapping down and cracking the glass.
• Clear Vision Prep: Clean the windscreen thoroughly with a high-quality Glass Cleaner and microfibre cloth before installing the new blades to remove road film.
• Windscreen Wash: Top up your washer reservoir with a quality windscreen wash additive to keep your screen smear-free.
