> Wiper blades, eh? They're your windscreen's best mate, clearing away rain, snow, and all the muck that tries to blind you. But like anything, they get worn out – sun, weather, you name it. When that rubber starts to crack, especially on vehicles battling our tough conditions like the Subaru Forester and Mitsubishi Outlander, it's time for a change.

• Reduced visibility during rain or spray
Will it pass WOF?

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those wiper blades, a quick yarn about doing it right. Safety first, always!
• Cleanliness: Give that windscreen a good scrub. Trust me, new blades love a clean surface. Use some Glass Cleaner and a Microfibre Towel for a streak-free finish.
• Top Up: Don't forget to top up your Windscreen Washer Fluid. It's like giving your wipers a little drink to keep them happy and gliding smoothly.

🧰 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.
