I have to admit, I can think of better ways of spending £42.98 than on a set of wiper blades. The wiper blade on the driver's side of my car hasn't been working well for a couple of weeks, I was convinced something was stuck to the blade causing it to smear rather than clean but when I inspected it I found a three inch rip in the edge of the blade. With all the torrential rain we've been having I thought I'd better play safe & get some new ones.
