flashbang Turbocharged November 18, 2016 Share November 18, 2016 mine coming to 3 years still good. (I clock around 30,000km a year) Wipers not really linked with mileage... depends on how you take care of it and where you park. If you wash your car often plus clean the wipers, and park in shaded areas, I think can last very long. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged November 18, 2016 Share November 18, 2016 (edited) Have been using the Bosch Aerotwin wipers since May 2014, and they still work as good as in Day 1. Never have I used a pair of wipers that's still working well after 2 1/2 years! Got the wipers for free at the following clinic. http://www.mycarforum.com/topic/2694125-post-event-stamford-tyres-sonax-car-clinic-25-may/?hl=stamford #BoschWipersBagus Edited November 18, 2016 by Vinceng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And avoid adding any liquid/solution to the wiper washer reservoir or apply something like rain X - wiper may shudder/vibrate/squeaky very soon. Just top up with clean water the best/safest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniu82 Supercharged November 21, 2016 Share November 21, 2016 Some questions here: 1) When parking under the hot sun, do you all lift up the wipers? 2) How do you all clean the wipers normally? Use wet tissues or normal tissues with water? 3) How do you all maintain your wipers? Clean when washing car?? Clean with what?? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried it? https://ecocut-pro.de/en/produkt/ecocut-pro/ I'm going to try it soon. But my early suggestion is that don't bother using it to try and rejuvenate dried, hardened and cracked wipers. It's probably only good for wipers that are still supple but maybe have blade edge imperfections - like minor streaking, etc. Edited July 31, 2017 by 7hm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
