I know we don't get much rain, but my wipers were so noisy last weekend, and yes I do keep them clean, any suggestions, sensible or otherwise would be welcome.



Thanks, I think.

Change the rubbers as the sun bakes them hard - garage opposite Astro Supermarket will do this for you as it can be tricky on some types of wiper blade holders.

Clean the screen and wipers with vinegar.

Cover your windscreen in olive oil - that should do it!

I put washing up liquid in the washer bottle that quite often stops it and keeps your screen clean as well.

To stop them 'cracking up' and bending, lift the wipers off the windscreen when the car is not in use. This will prolong the life of the rubber strips.
