What Wiper Blades Do I Need? A Simple Guide from VIPA Car Parts

Wiper blades might seem like a small part of your vehicle, but they play a huge role in keeping you safe on the road. Whether it’s heavy rain, sleet, or road spray, having the right wiper blades ensures clear visibility — and peace of mind.

But with so many options out there, it can be tricky to know which wiper blades you actually need. That’s where VIPA Car Parts comes in.

🚘 Why Choosing the Right Wiper Blades Matters

Your wiper blades are your first line of defence in poor weather conditions. Over time, blades wear down — leading to smearing, streaking, or even scratching your windscreen. Replacing them regularly ensures:

  • ✅ Better visibility
  • ✅ Improved safety
  • ✅ A smoother, quieter wipe
  • ✅ Longer life for your windscreen

🛠️ How to Tell If You Need New Wiper Blades

Look out for these signs:
