Give Your Windscreen the WOF-Worthy Wipe It Deserves! — Bob's Top Picks, Featuring TRICO
> Those wiper blades on your trusty steed? They take a real hammering out there, battling our harsh Kiwi sun, relentless rain, and all the road grime thrown up by our beloved dusty metal tracks. Over time, that rubber gets sad, hard, and cracked, meaning a blurry view when you need it most. Swapping out just the rubber with a refill kit is a no-brainer – it's kinder on your wallet and the planet, giving your Mazda Demio that sharp view for the cafe run, or ensuring your Ford Ranger can tackle the backroads without a hitch.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Streaking or smearing across the windscreen after wiping.
• Chattering or skipping of the wiper blade.
• Unwiped sections or water film left on the glass.
• Squeaking noises during operation.
• Visible cracks, tears, or hardening of the rubber blade.
Will it pass WOF?
No. Worn or damaged wiper blades that fail to clear the windscreen effectively will result in a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) failure. Clear visibility is a fundamental safety requirement in New Zealand.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 2/10
Estimated Time: 5-15 minutes per blade
Tools Required: None, or a small flat-head screwdriver for some older designs.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
