Are You Procrastinating Changing Your Wiperblades?

Clear visibility of the road is one of the most essential aspects of keeping you, your passengers and your car safe – but as soon as the rain stops and you step out of the car, it’s easy to forget the frustration of your useless wipers immediately.

While there is no set timeframe for how long blades will last, it is worthwhile considering replacements every six to twelve months; it is often best to replace prior to your yearly MOT. If you weren’t aware, it is illegal to drive a vehicle without windscreen wipers, and worn blades could be the difference between an MOT pass and a fail.

Even if you’re a little while off your MOT, it’s worth replacing your wipers before the winter months roll in, when they will be working their hardest tackling leaves, rain, grit, sleet and snow. 

The winter months also increase glare on your windscreen due to the low winter sun, but dirty windscreens can make this even worse. Don't put your sunglasses away just yet; make sure your screenwash is topped up, and keep those blades in optimum condition for those bright days.

Fitting wiper blades yourself is a lot simpler and far more stress-free than you might think – don’t be fooled by brands and mechanics who suggest you need to pay someone else to replace your blades.
