Are Silicone Wiper Blades worth the Money?
Like
Rubber Wiper Blades and just about every other product or service,
Silicone Wiper Blades come at different Price Levels, and buying the
dearest doesn’t necessarily mean getting the best.
In order to make an informed decision, We need to be able
to spot quality features in Wiperblades, and understand what influence
they have on Safety, Life and Performance.
Next we need a method of measuring the cost of Wiperblades
against their useful life. We do that by dividing the cost of a single
wiper blade by the number of 100,000 cycles in it’s expected life. A cycle
being 1 wipe in each direction.
The cheapest and most basic Wiper Blades have a moulded
rubber blade with an arrow-head profile offering a single wiping edge.
They’ll also have a very cheaply constructed frame. Differences in Frame
Quality are more difficult to spot, but usually, the blade quality is a
good indicator of the overall quality of the Wiper Blade. Most un-branded
Wiper Blades fall into this category.
Single edge Wiper Blades have a typical life of 200,000
cycles, and can cost as little as £3, so they cost at least £1.50 per
100,000 cycles
Most Motorists seek comfort in the big Global Brand Wiper
Blades. They know they’re probably not getting the best value for money,
but it’s a safe bet. Of course the big brands aren’t slow to take
advantage of that, and so their prices aren’t always cost-effective.
Global Branded (and some smaller Brands) offer good quality
Wiper Blades. They are easy to spot because the rubber blade has a profile
like a small screwdriver instead of an arrow head. This means there are 2
Wiping Edges instead of one. As the Wiper Arm moves in one direction the
blade flexes and trails, presenting one of the tips “corners” to the
windscreen. On the Return Wipe, the blade flexes in the other direction,
and uses the opposite edge to wipe the screen.
Quality Twin Edge Rubber Wiper Blades are good for around
500,000 (half a million) wipes. They reduce the risk of unwiped areas, and
are much smoother and quieter than cheaper wiper blades. Typically they
cost around £10 each, and so cost around £2 per 100,000 cycles.
Every pack of Rubber Wiperblades that I’ve seen carries a
warning that they should be replaced between 6-12 mnoths. That’s because
U.V. Ozone and Pollution all combine to attack the Rubber Wiper Blades,
even when they’re not being used. That’s really bad news for Low-Mileage
Drivers and Classic Car Owners, because the Wipers often rot away before
they’ve done much work!
Silicone Wiper
Blades wear much slower than Rubber ones. A good quality Silicone
Wiper Blade has an expected life of 1,500,000 (one and a half million)
cycles. Good Quality Silicone Wiper Blades cost slightly more than Premium
branded rubber ones, about £12 each. Giving by far the lowest Cost over
life of £0.85 per 100,000 Cycles - Obviously, that’s great news for
High-Mileage Drivers.
On top of that Silicone Wiper Blades aren’t affected by
Ozone, UV and Pollution, so when you’re not using them, your investment
isn’t wasting away. That’s great news for Low-Mileage Drivers & Classic
Car Owners, because they can get the full useful life out of their
purchase.
Silicone Wiper
Blades offer great safety advantages. Their increased
flexibility especially in extreme cold weather, means that you don’t get
those dangerous un-wiped areas especially on dark winter mornings. Also
The flexibility and performance is more constant over life, because
Silicone shakes off UV, Ozone and Pollution attack.
Look for the following features to make sure you get
genuine good quality Silicone Wiper Blades:- Twin Edge Profile, “100%
Silicone” on the label and stamped into the Silicone Blade, Manufacturers
Warranty (You’ll find that only Genuine Silicone Wiper Blades come with a
Guarantee).
