Swapping Out Your Wiper Blades — Starring TRIDON
> Let's face it, seeing clearly through the windscreen is non-negotiable, eh? Especially with the weather chucking everything it's got at us. Over time, those rubber blades get cooked by the sun and worn down, leaving streaks and making it hard to see. That's not just annoying; it's downright dangerous, whether you're popping down to the dairy or heading out on a longer trip in your trusty Honda Civic, Toyota RAV4, or VW Passat.
What Clued You In?
• Streaky, smeary windscreen
• Noisy wipers – squeaking and chattering away
• Rubber looking worse for wear
• Can't see properly when it's raining
• Wipers missing spots
WOF Worries?
Dodgy wipers are a dead cert for a WOF failure. They've gotta clear that windscreen properly to keep you safe and legal.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, a quick yarn about doing it right. Grab some Glass Cleaner to give your windscreen a proper scrub before and after. A clean windscreen helps the new wipers do their job properly. Keep a couple of Microfibre Towels handy for wiping down the blades and glass. Top up your Windscreen Washer Fluid while you're at it, too. It's cheap insurance against a dirty windscreen on the open road.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out wiper blades regularly is a no-brainer for safe driving. I reckon every 6-12 months is about right, or sooner if they're looking rough. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Make sure you're grabbing the right size and type for your vehicle. Some vehicles can be a bit fussy with their attachments, so have a squiz at your owner's manual or ask one of the CARFIX experts for a hand, especially if you've got something like a Honda Civic Type R or Ford Fiesta.

🧰 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.
