Windscreen Wipers

[2ndGear]

IQ-1
2009 and not garaged.

Just cleaning some debris from the base of the windscreen wiper and
noticed the rubber grommet/boot/seal was badly split in fact both
wiper seals were split. I've no idea how long it has been like this
and I guess without attention this may lead to problems. Worth a
check.

Had a quick check of mine, after I had dug the crud out of the recess, and the grommet/seals seem to be OK.

The car is only two years old though, so they may still perish or whatever happens to them, in a couple of years.

I will keep an eye on them.

Looked at mine (2010 IQ) kept outside, all OK.
