Important Things to Remember When Replacing your Wiper Blades

Options
[FONT=&quot]Heed the following maintenance tips for optimum wiper blade performance and driving visibility:[/FONT]
· [FONT=&quot]Tip #1:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Replace your wiper blades every 6 months or 6,000 miles - even if you live in a "dry" place like Arizona.[/FONT]
· [FONT=&quot]Tip #2:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Consider your options when replacing your windshield wipers:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Option 1[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] You can replace just the refills (squeegees), which are the rubber wiping components installed into the vertebrae. This is your most economical option.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Option 2[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] You can replace the blades, which is the complete assembly composed of the metal frame and the refill. Although slightly more expensive, this option is faster to install and provides you with the benefit of improved windshield contact and, hence, wiping efficiency.[/FONT]

    you must be made of money or just plain daft to change your blades every 6 months, ive been involved with motors for 25 years either as a mechanic/mot inspector or as a commercial driver and ive only changed them when needed which on my own van at the moment was over 2 years ago and they are still ok.
    Are you getting a stiffy talking about car maintainance? all your threads are about cars but are direct out of car mags from the sixties.

    The other John, i.e. the OP, not you.

    It's a pretty standard pattern, make a few posts to get a high enough postcount to include links and, voila, a spammer is born.
