Description

Wiper Blade Sorted — TRIDON Featured
> Wiper blades, eh? Simple bits of kit, but buggered ones can make driving in the rain a nightmare. They keep the windscreen clear of rain, muck, and dead bugs. The rubber wears out over time, especially with our harsh Kiwi sun, causing streaks and juddering. Not ideal, especially in a high-end European wagon.
Spotting the Signs
• Streaky screen after a wipe? Not ideal.
• Wipers juddering and making a racket?
• Squeaking like a rusty gate?
• Missed bits on the windscreen?
• Rubber looking cracked and sad?
WOF Worthy?
Wipers are a no-brainer for a Warrant of Fitness. If they don't clear the windscreen properly, it's a fail, mate. Get them sorted before your WOF check to save yourself the hassle.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 2/10 (Easy as!)
Time: 10-15 minutes
Tools: Most of the time, you won't need anything. Maybe a flathead screwdriver if you've got an older model.
Bob's Two Cents
I reckon you should swap out your wiper blades the moment they start playing up. Especially on your BMW or Merc, where seeing clearly is key. The TRIDON TFB20TL is a cracker – lasts well and cleans great. Don't skimp on safety – new wipers make a world of difference. Drop by Bob's Shop for a yarn – I'll sort you out with the right bits for your European ride.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, grab these essentials to make the job safer and easier:
• Glass Cleaner: Give that windscreen a proper scrub *before* fitting the new blades. Glass Cleaner
• Microfibre Towels: Perfect for a streak-free finish. Microfibre Towels
• Windscreen Washer Fluid: Top up the reservoir with quality fluid to keep those blades gliding smoothly. Windscreen Washer Fluid

Bob's tip: A clean screen helps the new blades last longer and work better. Safety first, then a sparkling view!

Fitment Notes
This TRIDON blade fits a heap of European models, like the BMW 1 Series (118d, 120i, 120d, 130i), Merc M-Class (ML 320 CDI), Merc R-Class (R 500), and MINI John Cooper Works. Still, double-check it fits your exact model and year – wiper arm setups can be a bit different.

🧰 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.
