Wiper Blades Buying Guide
Last updated: 24 April 2026
Wiper blades are essential for visibility and safety in rain, snow, and road spray. Rubber deteriorates from UV exposure and temperature cycling, typically needing replacement every 6-12 months. We stock conventional, flat (aeroblade), and hybrid wiper blades.
Choosing the right wiper blades
Wiper blades vary by fitting type, length, and design. Always check your vehicle's requirements before ordering.
- Measure your existing blades — front wipers are often different lengths (driver/passenger)
- Check the fitting type: hook, pinch tab, bayonet, or top-lock vary by manufacturer
- Flat/aero blades offer better contact pressure and quieter operation than conventional
- Winter blades have a rubber boot to prevent ice build-up on the mechanism
- Don't forget the rear wiper — it uses a different fitting on most vehicles

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace wiper blades?
Every 6-12 months, or sooner if you notice streaking, smearing, squeaking, or gaps in the wiped area.
What size wiper blades do I need?
Check your vehicle handbook or measure your existing blades. Driver and passenger sides are often different lengths.
Flat vs conventional wiper blades — which is better?
Flat (aero) blades provide more even pressure across the windscreen, are quieter at speed, and handle better in winter. They're the standard on most cars built after 2005.
