July 28th, 2010

The wiper blades are the single most vital bit of your vehicle, now this may sound difficult to believe but the wiper blades is one of the components most able to save your life and avoid having an accident in your vehicle. Most incidents on the road are caused not by reckless steering but by having poor visibility through the wind screen, this problem although quite common is very easy to remedy. All you have to do is buy some new wiper blades and perhaps clean your wind screen once in a while. The easy part is in manufacturing the choice to get some new wiper blades the hard part is in actually determining which ones you need for your certain driving requirements and make of vehicle. The good news is that this guide will help you in that regard, in fact by the end you will perhaps be an expert on the subject. Now the secret to making good choices when buying wiper blades is not to go straight for the cheapest. The ability of wiper blades is determined by many things and these all need to be weighed assiduously before making your final choice.

The basic ones under the microscope are the basic rubber ones; the cheapest of these are the worst value, the have a some what short life span and will wear out in a very short space of time. The next stage are the branded rubber wipers, these are much adjusted but still below par when compared with what we have in store for you. You see rubber as a wipers material has some large short comings, as a substance it is very unstable and will react to things like ozone, ultra violet and pollution. Now all these things are seen in great quantities out on the open road so it is only natural that rubber wipers decompose rather quickly. Another of their numerous short comings is that the rubber will react to both heat and cold, in the summer the wipers will melt to the wind screen and in the winter they will freeze to the wind screen.

Now in of itself this is not such a big deal but when the replacement wiper blades are turned on they can be ripped away from their arms and even cause major internal damage to the electric motors found under the bonnet. In order to avoid this disaster it is my humble opinion that everyone should buy replacement wiper blades made from silicone; these things will solve all your worries. No more ill fitting rubber wipers blades which have become bent by the weather and no more streaky wind screens or jumping replacement wiper blades which don’t even shape to the wind screen any more. The best thing about silicone is that it will go for ages and will not decompose in the touch of other chemicals or ultra violet light, in fact if you work out how much it costs per one hundred thousand strokes, silicone replacement wiper blades are by far the best value. The number of motions can be found on the side of the packet and give and indication of how long the wiper blade will last for.
