Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I use the exorbitantly expensive PIAA silicone blades, which seem to last longer, and do a much better job IMHO.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As per the title; how long do you think the front windscreen wiper blades should last, or if you prefer, how often do you change them? Once knackered, are they just standard Bosch jobbies you can buy from Halfords?

POST 2Original post

Stuart, beleive it or not but they were cheap at the Reading OPC also on mine the passenger blade is curved and not available AFAIK in Halfords, yours presumably will be the same Think i paid £10.50 a pair............ with my club discount [ ]

POST 3Original post

Stuart, I don't know if there is a scientific answer to this, but my experience is that if you get two years use, then you will be lucky. I think it is like all rubber products, it depends on usage and exposure to UV light. I use the exorbitantly expensive PIAA silicone blades, which seem to last longer, and do a much better job IMHO. They also leave a film on the glass, which has a "Rain-X" effect, and will happily wipe a dry screen without any judder. As far as I'm concerned they are worth every penny (14 quid + VAT each). It's one of those areas where I won't compromise. See http://www.piaa.co.uk for information.
