Flat wiper blades are increasingly being fitted as standard to new cars and if this type of wiper blade was fitted to your vehicle from new, they can only be replaced with the same type of flat wiper blades. Flat wiper blades use a different type of fitting to attach them to the wiper arm. UPGRADING TO FLAT WIPER BLADES.

Windscreen wipers are a vital safety aspect of your vehicle and as such should be replaced when they no longer perform as expected. During their life they will probably clean an area equivalent to over 40 football pitches or about 1,500,000 wipes. They have to endure freezing temperatures in the winter, the extreme heat of direct sunlight and the effect of UV rays in the summer. Other factors like tree sap, diesel particles and even car washes can affect their lifespan.

A wiper blade consists of the rubber wiping element and the superstructure with brackets and joints that distribute the arm pressure and give the blade its flexibility. The different parts that make up a complete wiper blade are manufactured to perform as a single unit. A refill is just the rubber element. Replacing just the refill is a low-cost alternative to changing the wiper blade however, changing the complete blade is typically much easier, faster and will usually produce a better result. Replacing the refill too many times should be avoided, as the wiper blade superstructure will become weaker over time.

It is recommended to replace both the driver's side and passenger's side wiper blades at the same time as both wiper blades will perform better from new, this increases vision and safety. Do not forget to replace the rear windscreen wiper blade as well.

Yes, we advise giving your windscreen a good clean before fitting your new wiper blade. Windscreen contamination is a common cause for poor wiper blade performance even if the wipers are in good condition. Some kinds of contamination, such as tree sap, can destroy the rubber element in a short time.
