Since being bullied into using Denso wipers by our Scottish technical expert a few years ago , I have stuck with the brand.
However , whilst out in the Rav this morning I noticed the rubber has already split on the drivers side and the wiper can only be twelve months old and I only drive the Rav at weekends.
I'm sure when I had previously used Bosch wipers they lasted longer ?
I have ordered a new set of Densos but I'm curious to know what others are using ?
Jase.

I use Michelin on the RAV and Valeo Aeros on the Saab. I change them every year. Even if they are not used much, the rubber suffers from atmospheric contamination, frost damage and the effect of ultraviolet exposure (sunlight).

Yup, as Jim says, lack of use can actually be more detrimental than regular. Often, the blades get stuck to the screen if not used much and then, when you do come to use them, that's when they split.

Maybe you’re using them when the screen is almost dry 😜😜 I still wouldn’t use any other make even bought a pair for our 3 month old Renault Master window van, they are quieter and smother that the sh1t Renault fitted at the factory 👍🏻 got them on the Sc430 as well..maybe you just got unlucky ...back to ECP and get another pair, current discount code GHOST80 😎 |

Do you have crows and/or rats with wings......magpies.....active in your area.....? The wee scum are well known now for ripping the rubbers aff wipers, both for fun and to line or reinforce their nestification sites......! I reported said damage to THREE sets of wiper blades at a previous hoose, suspecting a wee paperboy I chastised for cycling over gardens. I had to go back to the police and explain a neighbour had witnessed both craws and pagmies ripping wipers tae gubbery......!! Never feltsa bliddy daft in ma life, mins.....! I change mine every year, but now driving the Jagyer, have tried Bosch......utter, utter megapish, and now have Valeos on as they are supposed tae be OEM, but are only slightly less pish than the Boscheez. They both actually SWEEP quite well, but Ringo would be proud of the noise they make on flip over to return.....!! |

+1 for crow damage though in my case it was the sunroof seal they destroyed. I thought it was disintegrating and had it replaced under warranty. Subsequently happened to go to the car one lunchtime and saw them actually pecking at the seal. Printed off some owl silhouettes with big eyes and laid them on top of the sunroof sliding shade and that scared the crows off permanently.

Crows and magpies venturing onto our plot get a lead injection...... Wee swines raid the songbird nests and any other nests for that matter. Farmers hate them !!

Jase I’ve just ordered two sets of Denso wipers from ECP using David’s code. Cheers David ! One set for the IQ ( it runs on fumes you know ! Not sure if I ever mentioned that) and one set for the RAV4. 33 quid delivered for the lot ....Cheap enough to bin them every year that is 👍👍 i like the Denso Hybrids for the sleek design and exceptional performance.... |
