I didn't know that driving without being able to see out the window was a safety hazard. Thank you Halfords!

[@seamonkey000001]

Absolute ball ache every single time. I’m convinced they make these fittings as F***ity Fiddly as possible. An oil change is easier than switching a wiper blade.

[@Thwze]

Hey thanks guys great vid totes helpful!!👍👍

[@MrChadwicj]

If the wiper blades does not lock-in to the hook check the locking tabs inside the side of the fitting are not pushed out. This would be a problem on old wiper blades being re-fixed. The locking tabs can be pushed-in with a pen, sharp object, etc. The wiper blade then locks in to the hook 😁

Good video, I found this useful.

[@Comicbookguy78]

Show how to change the older blades!!!!!!!!!!!

[@simonchilli2088]

It didn't show how to unhook the old style windscreen wipers so not very helpful to me and my clumsy fingers.

[@daljeetkalirai9771]

So easy

How much do you sell the we fit paper so I can change my windscreen wipers safely?

[@marcooni]

Putting them on looks easy, getting old ones off not so easy and that is not shown.

[@MrChadwicj]

This is the locking tabs either side of the fitting that locks in the windscreen wiper.

[@stevenmerritt7156]

These are the blades fitted on modern cars but I will show you how to fit the blades for older cars. Great logic. Completely useless video.

[@juansanchez7784]

Not enough showing how to take the old once off and video explaining a bit to fast also not enough showing for other fittings

Remember Drivers side always has to be the longer wiper and passenger side always shorter one on most cars.

[@redblade43]

Why is it they do not sell refill blades? Is there not much profit to be made from refills?

[@mrx7062]

They do sell refills 😂😂

[@IJm3]

Thanks Halfords, you've saved me paying your clowns a stupid price to do it for me!

Just bought a blade for my vaxhaul meriva and got no help to fit it and it's not fit properly x

[@mrx7062]

Got no help? Did you pay for them to fit it? If not then of course they didn't fit them for you. It's not rocket science...

[@IBoughtTerrariaFor67p]

Would it really shatter a front windscreen ? jokers

[@mrx7062]

Of course it will 😂

This video has too many advertising chat, get straight to the point. Start with the older clip versions not the easy pin type. Where is this information. I've just bought set 26 for my micra. Doesn't fit.

Just had them do an mot for me, and they had my 3 series BMW convertible no more than five mins, when they called me to come into the workshop to see. I went and the radiator was gushing out water and the guy had the engine revving at 4000 without even thinking to switch it off. They damaged my radiator. This was a week after it failed on lights, and so as I hadn't finished regressing and servicing one brake, I took the wheel off and with the most gentle of touches to the brake line with a wire brush, and I know about mechanics, brake fluid was squirting everywhere. This means that had the lights been ok last week, I would be driving a car around with dangerous brakes. The failure sheet said nothing about rusted brake lines.halfords are terrible.

Why on earth would you get Halfords to do your MOT??? I only ever get them replace headlights if it's too time-consuming to do myself.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

And even then, my local Halfords got the direction of my headlight wrong, despite paying for fitting. Had to pay an extra fiver at my local garage to fix as it failed its MOT because of it :(

"great value fit services". my ass. you charge more than the blades cost for fitting. and it takes a whopping 50 seconds.

In what way do they charge more for fitting than the blade? Did you just pull that out of your arse? (Correct spelling)... cretin.

I went to buy a front and rear wiper blade a few days ago. Was told the rear needed a new wiper arm also as the plastic clip was broken ... but we don't have any in stock and we can't order them, I was told. How odd - can't order them? Why on Earth not? Seems very weird as well as not very good customer service. I later found a place not *too* far from our Halfords who *did* stock them - both the arm and blade for £22.05 *but* who don't fit them. If I buy the arm and blade from this other place and take it to White City Halfords, are they then going to charge me an arm and leg to do it (I don't have the tools to remove the big nut holding the arm on to the motor!) as I didn't buy it from yourselves? Hmmm bet they'd try. :)

[@mrx7062]

Halfords don't fit wiper arms you tool 😂 why would they be able to order it? It's a specific car part not just a wiper blade. They aren't going to fit something for you that 1. They don't sell and 2. Don't claim to fit... Halfords can't sort all your problem out for you nick..

Useless video. Most wiper blade are not of this type. I guess Halfords are just trying to get you to pay for fitting. No instructions in the box either.
