Wiper blades

They do tend to last a long time though.

Flippin' things for my Alfa are close to 40 quid for a good name pair from a discount supplier.

And then I discover theres a bottom stop on the arm - so when its aged a bit and the mounts flex, the reason the screen isn't wiping so well is theres no pressure on the blade any more - a quick attack with two pairs of pipe wrenches to bend the arm and put some pressure on the blade and I have a clear screen again . . .

If you want a pair of wiper blades that actually work rather than the half hearted attempt the Caterham ones provide I recommend you try the equivalent size Car Builder Solutions ones
Unfortunately they are more like £20 a pair and only come in chrome, but this is easily rectified with a black rattle can. Used them for over two years on previous car.

I thought the Caterham ones worked pretty well really - my car gets used in all weathers over the last 20yrs and I've no complaints.  Think I;ve had 3 or 4 sets in that time. Falling snow is a pain as it builds up at the ends of the wiper stroke and restricts the arc - but that's due to the near vertical screen more than the blades.

They tend to wear out nice and evenly on the flat screen, so last a good while.
