Worn or damaged wiper blades spell danger. If they no longer clear the screen properly, you cannot see the road ahead clearly and you are posing a danger to yourself and other road users. You could be fined £1,000 and have points put on your licence if you are stopped by the police. Worn or damaged wipers will fail an MOT. Typically, a set of wiper blades will last 12 months, unless they're damaged. But if they smear dirty rainwater rather than clear it - or leave patches of the screen unswept - they need replacing immediately. Even if they are doing their job, you should still check the blades weekly for signs of cracking and for spots along the edge that are becoming brittle. The only cure for a worn or broken blade is replacement and you should renew both on the windscreen as a pair. It is recommended that you replace the whole wiper and not just the rubber blade as the wiper itself becomes damaged and worn over the course of its life. Halfords Easy Fit sets and Bosch blades come with pre-fitted adaptors to aid with fitting. Clear fitting instructions are included on each packet. To ensure you buy the right ones for your car, note the vehicle's exact model and year of manufacture. Halfords have in-store customer buying guides that you can use to ensure that you buy the right blade for your car. Difficulty rating: beginner How often: as required. Check blades weekly Time to allow: 15min Tools needed: correct wiper blade Before starting, consult the owners' handbook for your car (if available) which may explain in greater detail how to proceed. It's also a good idea if you've got a digital camera to take a close-up snap of the existing blades - use this as a handy reference should you get stuck. useful links We'll Fit it More how to guides 1) Raise the wiper arm off the screen. Prise away the blade and holder from the wiper arm by pushing its locking tab inwards. Hold it while you push blade and holder gently towards the bonnet. 2) Take the new blade and holder from the packet and check that you have it the correct way up (look across to the other blade on the windscreen and compare if you're not sure). 3) Replace the blade and holder on to the wiper arm. This is usually the straight reverse of what you did to remove it. Ensure it locks into place with a 'click' and that you have fitted it the right way round (so that it sits flush to the screen). 4) Lower the wiper arm so that the blade sits neatly at the base of the screen. Check that it fits and will wipe the screen correctly. Halfords offers a unique fitting service called 'We'll fit it'. halfordscompany.com | terms of use | terms & conditions of sale | privacy
