Windscreen Wiper Replacement: A Quick Guide with TRICO

> Let's be honest, driving in New Zealand without good wipers is like trying to eat a pie with your hands tied behind your back—tricky and messy! Whether you're cruising in your Toyota Alphard Hybrid or tackling the school run in a Renault Koleos, your wiper blades are key for clear visibility. Over time, the rubber cops a beating from the sun and constant use, leading to streaks and a blurry view. Time for an upgrade, eh?

Signs Your Wipers Are Toast
• Streaking or smearing across the windscreen – not ideal.
• Squeaking or chattering like a flock of seagulls.
• Uneven water clearing – leaving patches behind.
• Visibly cracked or damaged rubber.
• Reduced visibility when it's bucketing down.

WOF Woes?

Dodgy wiper blades are a surefire way to fail your Warrant of Fitness (WOF) here in NZ. They need to properly clear the windscreen to keep you safe and legal.

DIY or Call the Garage?

Difficulty: 3/10

Estimated Time: 10-15 minutes

Tools Required: Usually none, but gloves are handy to keep the mitts clean.

Expert Advice

Swapping out your wiper blades regularly is a no-brainer for safety. Streaky or noisy wipers can really mess with your vision, especially when the rain's coming down sideways or at night. The TRICO blade (16-A) is a solid choice for cars like the Toyota Estima and Mazda 5, known for their reliable performance.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist

Before you start slapping on those new wipers, let's make sure you've got everything you need to do the job properly:
• Glass Cleaner: Give your windscreen a good scrub before and after fitting the new blades. Glass Cleaner will get rid of any road grime.
• Microfibre Towels: Perfect for wiping away excess cleaner and buffing the glass to a sparkling finish. Grab a pack of Microfibre Towels to keep in the car.
• Washer Fluid: Top up your windscreen washer fluid. It makes a world of difference in keeping your windscreen clear on those long drives. You can find Washer Fluid right here.

Fitment Notes

Double-check that the wiper blade length and attachment are spot-on for your car. Some vehicles, like the Toyota Avensis, might have unique wiper sizes or attachments. Always peek at your vehicle's manual or CARFIX's guide for the right info.

🧰 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.
