1. I'll change when it does not wipe thoroughly, maybe 1.5yrs.

2. Change at shop in the industrial park that sells car's spare parts.

3. Change both side.

4. I just changed the wiper last Sat at $38 for both sides

The normal blue-box NWB, now renamed to Denso (dark blue box), sold at most petrol stations iirc Esso, SPC, Caltex carry them:

 

I use these, since they are as close to OE replacement, one long one short price about 17 + 12 = 29

easily can use about 3-4years (daily about 120km, whole day hot sun, no shelter no mscp)

 

when washing car time take a damp cloth run the length of the rubber blade part that touches the glass--this brings them back to quite good condition

Mine I have been using for 3 years already. So far still no problems. I think its because I rarely use the wipers. I claybar the windscreen every week so rain droplets just fly off when driving at higher speeds. I am using those frameless wipers from giant. I think was 15+ each.

I used to get these changed half-yearly at around S$35 during servicing at BM. Then my friend recommended one brand to me (can't rem name) which cost S$90 and I've been using it for the past 3 years. So far, it's been working well for the past few rainy days.

I think NWB/Density is better than Bosch. And its cheaper too.

This I agree. I wipe the wipers til they not so blackish.

 

They then become like new even parked under hot sun n not lifted fr windscreen. Almost 1.5 yrs n ok. N I don't activate them as often, unless heavy downpour, since the wax on my car would cause windscreen water to bead.

My previous workhorse driven for 8 years... and i changed the wiper only once...

 

So average is about 4 years?

 

I washed car almost weekly... and clay my windscreen monthly.. it does help to maintain smoothness...

 

In my wiper reservoir, I did put some windscreen solution...
