Problem overview

Some Ford Transit Connect owners report experiencing issues with wiper blade performance, emphasizing the importance of timely replacement to ensure optimal visibility. Many owners note that wiper blades should typically be replaced every twelve months, but those in colder climates may need to do so even sooner. Additionally, some owners recommend replacing both windshield wiper blades simultaneously, as the rubber on the opposite side is likely worn, even if only one side is streaking. Others highlight the benefits of using genuine OEM Ford replacement wiper blades for better performance and compatibility. While replacing wiper blades is generally a straightforward task, owners are advised to regularly monitor the condition of their wiper blades and replace them at the first signs of wear or ineffectiveness.
