2.5 yrs, 15k - that is a long time., I change mine every year ( 12k), when rubber is left outside is does not age well. i think 2.5 years is a very long time indeed |

thanks guys, from replies so far looks as though they need changed, but have lasted a reasonable time ?

I've had mine 3.5 years and 20k miles without problem. Don't they last the life of the car? |

Changed mine this year. Got them from the main dealers, work out £1 per wiper more than Halfords and no fiddle bits to change to get them on. |

Possibly the rear wiper is OK and it's actually your mother-in-law |

Went down the Bosch route as well, £32.00 inc delivery (fronts) from WiperBlades.co.uk, miles better than the noisy flebay ones i had before and worth paying the extra for. |
