Wiper Blades

From repelling bugs to torrential rain, your wiper blades are crucial when it comes to keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. You’ll receive an MOT failure if your wipers are unsecured, missing altogether, or don’t adequately clear your windscreen. If you’ve noticed smears on your windscreen, squeaky blades, or rain and sleet that’s slower to shift than usual, it’s probably time to replace your wipers.

How To Change Your Wiper Blades

Replacing your wiper blades is a simple task. Once you’ve got the hang of it, you can replace your wipers in less than 10 minutes.

Once your old blade has been removed, all that’s left is to click your new blade into place and give it a gentle pull to check it’s safely connected. Find more advice on changing your wiper blades.
