Description

Wiper Blade Replacement — TRIDON Leading the Charge
> Wiper blades are your first line of defence against rain, bugs, and road grime – keeping that windscreen crystal clear. Over time, they get hammered by the sun, baked in summer, and frozen in winter. That rubber gives up the ghost, leading to streaks and smears. Especially if you're racking up the miles in your Holden Barina or the Mazda CX-9 we see parked up at the cafe lunch spot.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Streaks and smears blocking your view
• Wipers making a racket, like they're chattering away
• Patches of glass the wipers are missing completely
• Rubber blades looking worse for wear – cracks, tears, the works
• Struggling to see through the windscreen when it's wet
Will it pass WOF?
Yep, dodgy wipers are a quick way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They need to properly clear the windscreen so you can see the road ahead. No arguments.
DIY or Workshop?
Sweet as, Difficulty: 2/10 (Easy)
Time it takes: 5-15 minutes
Gear you'll need: Nothing usually (maybe a small flathead screwdriver for some of the older setups).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, a quick safety check:
• Safety First: Give your windscreen a good clean before you start. This stops any grime from getting stuck under the new blades.
• Glass Cleaner: Grab some Glass Cleaner to get your windscreen sparkling. You'll be amazed at the difference.
• Microfibre Towels: Keep a couple of Microfibre Towels handy for wiping down the glass and blades.
• Windscreen Washer Fluid: Top up your Windscreen Washer Fluid reservoir. It's cheap insurance against poor visibility on those long drives.

Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should swap out your wiper blades the moment they start playing up. Visibility is 100% crucial on our roads, especially when the weather turns nasty. TRIDON blades are top-notch and won't break the bank. you name it. From your old-school Toyota Corona to a fancy VW Polo GTI, we'll sort you out. Pop into Bob's Shop, and we'll get you sorted!
Fitment Notes
These blades fit a massive range of vehicles, from the PROTON PERSONA 300 to the VOLKSWAGEN POLO GTI, FORD FOCUS i XR5 Turbo, SUZUKI ALTO, SUBARU IMPREZA WRX, and the MAZDA CX-9. Because the list is so long, always double-check the length and connection type for your specific year and model. Some vehicles need different length blades on each side.

🧰 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.
