All About Wipers

[dr. d]

Now that the rainy season is really upon us, do you guys replace your old wiper blades or just use the old ones no matter how old until they start streaking?

My experience kasi, I replace them every year when the wet season is in full swing. I just buy the less expensive brands since I mean to replace them next year again. Consumable items, so to speak.

Why risk diminished visibility for a few hundred pesos every year?

Thoughts?

i use cheap refills, purchased from the mall car accessories centers. buyer may have to ask the sales person, because sometimes, they are hidden behind the more popular items.
i cut to the right length, i slide out the old rubber, and slide in the new.
note that they come in at least two size diameters. if the one purchased is the wrong size, one may use long-nose pliers to "make them fit". hassle, but do-able.
