Wiper Blade Sorted — with BOSCH
> Wiper blades are dead important for seeing clearly, especially when the weather turns nasty, which it often does here in NZ. The rubber cops a beating from the sun, hot and cold, and all the road grime. Before you know it, you're getting streaks, juddering, and can't see a thing out of your Skoda Octavia or VW Golf.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Streaks or smears all over the windscreen after a wipe.
• Wipers juddering or skipping.
• Can't see properly when it's raining.
• Squeaking like crazy.
• Rubber is cracked, torn, or hard as a rock.
Will it pass WOF?
Nope, if your wipers are buggered, you'll fail your Warrant of Fitness (WOF). Clear view is key to safety, mate.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 2/10
Time it takes: 5-15 minutes per blade
What you need: Nothing usually, maybe a small flat-head screwdriver for some older models.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those wiper blades, here's a quick rundown to keep things safe and simple:
• Cleanliness is Key: Give your windscreen a good scrub with some Glass Cleaner before and after fitting the new blades. This'll get rid of any grime that could ruin your new wipers.
• Microfibre Magic: Keep a couple of Microfibre Towels handy. They're perfect for wiping down the blades and glass without leaving any streaks or fluff.
• Washer Fluid Top-Up: While you're at it, check your windscreen washer fluid. Top it up with a quality concentrate to help keep your windscreen clean on the go.
Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should swap out your wiper blades at least once a year. If they're playing up before then, don't wait! Especially in posh European cars like your Jaguar XJ or Volvo C70, you need to see where you're going. These BOSCH AM475U blades are a great choice, known for being quiet and doing a proper job. Pop into Bob's Shop and we'll sort you out!
Fitment Notes

Just double-check they're the right ones for your exact year and model, eh?

🧰 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.
