I replace my wipers every 2-3 months.....
But I live in Orlando.... the thunderstorm capital of the world. We get a thunderstorm nearly every afternoon in the summer.
Two years on mine still fine, a tip though on squeaking give the windscreen a good clean with Autoglym winndow cleaner always works for me

after having a referbed car and all noises and rattles sorted now just driven home and the bloody wpers are making the usual noises. temperature is not cold at all and moderate rain. does anyone know of any good blades that dont make a noise as i had these replaced about 5000 miles ago
usual noises - ????

My wipers squeaked apallingly when I first picked up the car (second hand) I had the dealer replace them FOC and - no noise since then.

Sounds like yours need changing - they shouldn't be noisy

Had to change mine a while ago & perfect now, I did look around but couldn't find any other suppliers in the UK, BMW dealer only. But I guess
others will stock them when demand is there.

The first set of wipers are often contaminated by the protection wax (and its remover).

Has anyone in the UK successfully had wiper blades replaced under warranty?

How much are these whizzy blades in the UK? If they're $50 in the US, I bet they are ?50 here.

About ?35 a pair from dealer. Can fit yourself in 10 seconds.
