I'v just bought a new front pair & rear swiper from David at Sere Motors on here :)
Still to fit them.... Buy yourself a new set normally makes all the difference!

Mine are fine (18k miles).....do make sure I wipe them when washing the car though and clean the screen with glass cleaner.

How old are they? Mine have covered 27k and are starting to get noisy / juddery

Is it constantly raining with you? 27000 wipes is a lot of wiping :cartman:

Mine are still good after 33 months although I also have a new pair ready to go on if needed ;)

I tend to change mine once a year - it rains a LOT in Wales!

Having said that, the Leon set are (AFAIK) the ones fitted from new, making them about 19 months old and they're only just starting to get a bit noisy.

In answer to your question, if the wipers are noisy it's almost certainly due to the blades wearing out.

Had a similar issue on the Caddy tried cleaning them and it did improve things but in the end changed them and the problem was cured. Could well be worn or contaminated I would try the vinger method first if that does not work then replace them.

i replaced mine with those Valeo ones a couple of months ago, so far they are noisy and seem to be scraping or something bang in the middle of the drivers side wiper, highly annoying. I have taken it off and tried adjusting and what not but the same results. VERY annoying.
