Fed up with wipers

Bobsticle · Oct 28, 2016

In 18 months, I'm on my second pair of wiper blades.
Bleeding junk.
The rubbers are splitting again. In a panic this morning I ordered a two foot length of blade to replace the two thinking it might last a bit longer but for a couple of quid I doubt it very much.
Any thoughts?

Just bought some Allmakes 4x4 wipers - turned out they supply Iguana wipers. A change from Britpart so let's see how they last.

Careful l when the rubber splits, you can end us with kids...

It must have been a conscious decision, honest, but on a second look the ones I have ordered are silicone. Just hope I can get them in the bendy sticky on bits.

+1, have reverted to Bosch wipers, did this about 5 years ago, they do last much longer.

I fitted these about 5 years ago, they do a much better job of cleaning the screen and they're still going strong.

Arrived a few days ago. Just one at 24 inches but as I need two at 10 inch it seemed a good idea.
First light rain today and they work ok. Lets see how long they last. For two quid including postage anything past January will be a result.

Its the future for £1.99.................

, Not too hard to fit, reusing the thin steel supports that run down the originals. I just bent the tabs out and squoze them back in on the new one.
