When do wiper blades need replacing?
Replacing wiper blades is simple when you know how, so here’s what you need to look out for to ascertain if your wiper blades have reached the end of their lifespan:
STREAKING
The problem:
Thin un-wiped lines appear on the glass as a result of foreign objects on the blade or wearing of the micro-edge.
The solution:
Clean the edge of the blade and if you see no improvement, fit new wiper blades.
JUMPING
The problem:
The blades jump or judder noisily across the glass due to wax on the glass, chemical deposits on the glass or deformation of the blade rubber.
The solution:
Clean the glass and the blade edge and, if you see no improvement, fit new wiper blades.
SMEARS/BANDING
The problem:
Smears are left on the glass after wiping because the wiper lever or rubber blade edge is deformed or worn.
The solution:
New wiper blades will need to be fitted.
