Changing Front wiper blades

[martandem]

Hey People,

Front blades are squeaking alot, think they need to be changed before they start scratching the screen...

Couple of quick questions, how can you be sure they need to be changed, i.e. what do you need to look for?

Also, are they difficult to change? Any quick guides/tips? Or do they simply slide on?

Any advice would be warmly received!

Look at the rubber on them if they are split (usually at the at the end) they need changing.

They are easy to change, just lift the wiper arm up & push them down the wiper arm, then wiggle them off.

Try Tesco mate i put up a post a couple of weeks ago, they were doing 21" blades for £5 (That was for two!)

There the square ones that VW and Audi use, not to shabby for a sky diver.
