[Vinceh]

When was the last time you changed to a new set of wipers?

[WTF]

Maybe you should asked instead, "did you ever change your wipers"?

I would suggest you change to a pair of new wipers...

some windscreen fluid might cased the windscrren to be rough also..

but the wipers quite new leh... i think 2-3 yrs only.

[Ladykillerz]

2-3 years or 2-3 months, you mean?

[WTF]

I changed my first set when I hit 20k mileage, about 1 yr old.

 

At about 40K about 2 yr old, change to 1 that is guaranteed for 3 yrs.

 

Both was replaced when can hear loud screeching sound and the windsreen is worse off when the wiper is turned on during rain.

2-3 years are quite new?! They are long overdue for a change bro.

Wah, if 2-3 yrs is new to you, other than your wipers i suggest you check your tyres, aircon filter, bulbs, carmats too.

2-3 years is eternity for the tropical weather in Singapore, bro!

 

I rmb reading somewhere that it is recommended to change wiper every 6mths. But every 1 - 1.5 years should be sufficient.

is there no way to maintain screen wipers and die die must change? cos exterior condition looks fine.

any recommendations on this after market cleaner?

[Mits_jc]

no matter how u maintain, the wiper blades will deteriorate over time, more so if u park in open spaces.

actually, how much is a pair of wiper blades (and i'm not talking branded, generic NWB brand will do) when compared to the cost of buying/maintaining ur car??

Ya, I totally agree with Mits_jc. Afterall a new set of wipers are not that ex.

 

Take a look at this crystal wipers that is retailing at almost half of market price.
