  • When my windscreen wipers are chattering and squealing across the windscreen, does that mean it's time to replace them?

    And are there standard sizes? Reputable brands? Or does each manufacturer have their own proprietary shapes and sizes?

  • Get Bosch, they're worth the extra. Halfords website has a calculator that you put your reg into and it'll tell you which ones you need.

  • there are different attachments and sizes, so its sort of 50/50
    Not all are the same but its not specifically bespoke to each car.

    I know Halfrauds have little books in their stores that you filter for make/model/year and it tells you which blade to buy.
    I think their website has a thing where you put your number plate in and it filters to the appropriate parts.
    You can then google the blade reference for a company you'd rather give your money to.

    Not always, sometimes they just need a good cleaning. You can inspect for wear once they are clean.

  • You could also try cleaning your windscreen. Toothpaste is good and leaves your windscreen tasting nice! It clearly doesn't need help with its gums so good standard cheap toothpaste and a damp cloth/microfibre.
