Volkswagen XL1 Hybrid PHEV Wiper Blades

Wiper Blades, Windscreen Wipers

One of the most essential items on any vehicle is the wiper blades. At GSF Car Parts we keep in stock wiper blades (or windscreen wipers) for all makes and models of cars and vans. What's more, we keep windscreen wiper replacement rubber to revitalise older windscreen wiper blades. You can easily find the correct wiper blade by inputting your reg number or by selecting your make and model in our search tool.

Our warehouse of windscreen wipers is vast and we keep all the reliable brands at affordable prices, including Bosch, Drivetec, and Valeo. 

We need a clear, unobstructed view of the road in order to drive as safely as possible, but during inclement weather, rain, sleet and snow can affect our ability to see. Windscreen wipers are an absolute essential, and when they age or suffer damage, they need to be replaced. Changing your blades is relatively easy and you can find out how to replace your wiper blades here with our knowledge hub guide.

Do all Windscreen Wipers Fit all Cars?

No, wiper blades aren't universal. Every car has a different-sized windscreen and you must buy the correct windscreen wipers that will fit your vehicle. 

How do I know which Wiper Blades my Car needs?

You can use the search tool on the GSF Car Parts website to find the correct wiper blades for your vehicle or refer to your car's manual. Measuring the wiper blade yourself is another way to find out the correct size to fit.

Windscreen wipers are measured in millimetres or inches, referring to the length of the rubber blade. The wiper blade rubber is the insert strip that fits into the wiper blades making contact with the window. It's this part that clears the rain, sleet, dirt, and snow off your vehicle's windscreen.

You can get wiper blades in a variety of sizes and they measure from around 9" to 32" or 250mm through to 813mm. 

If you get the wrong size, the windscreen wipers won't work correctly. Too small and they won't cover the entire windscreen, too big and the wiper blade rubber will get damaged or tangled at its end.

How do I know if my Wiper Blades need Replacing?

You need to get a windscreen wiper replacement if:

• Squeaking - Some windscreen wiper squeaking is ok, but if it's making a lot of noise, it’s time to get them replaced
• Chattering - Where the wiper blade rubber has failed to the point the plastic part is being dragged across your windscreen
• Bent frame - If the frame of the windscreen wiper is bent or damaged, it might not make firm contact with the windscreen
• Adhesive failing - If the glue that holds the wiper blade rubber fails, the rubber becomes loose and flops around not making a clean swipe on the windscreen
