# Wiper blades **Source:** https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/wiper-blades.61103/ **Posts:** 15 --- ### L — 2026-02-16T10:50:08+0100 (Feb 16, 2026) My Cali is only just over 6 month old and is not a daily driver, yet the wiper blades are already squeaking and juddering, any one else had this, are they just poor quality blades from the factory? --- ### — 2026-02-16T11:10:44+0100 (Feb 16, 2026) Never had an issue. The factory fit are good quality, Bosch if I recall (CBA going to check mine). There are usually a number of other reasons they might judder that might be worth a look. Lack of use being one. --- ### K — 2026-02-16T11:23:22+0100 (Feb 16, 2026) > [Lakes\_Puma said:](/goto/post?id=771902) > > My Cali is only just over 6 month old and is not a daily driver, yet the wiper blades are already squeaking and juddering, any one else had this, are they just poor quality blades from the factory? > > Click to expand... Had the same issue with mine. I was forewarned by this forum, so dumped them after a couple of months and fitted Bosch Aerotwin much better upgrade. --- ### — 2026-02-16T12:47:09+0100 (Feb 16, 2026) > [Lakes\_Puma said:](/goto/post?id=771902) > > My Cali is only just over 6 month old and is not a daily driver, yet the wiper blades are already squeaking and juddering, any one else had this, are they just poor quality blades from the factory? > > Click to expand...

It is a daily driver but wipers do seem to judder a bit. Just need to remember how to put the wiper arms in the service position from the infotainment system. --- ### S — 2026-02-16T15:34:59+0100 (Feb 16, 2026) Common on new VAG vehicles - the stock blades are terrible - I changed the ones on my Karoq pretty quickly, only 3 weeks into the T7 Beach so not at that stage yet! --- ### J — 2026-02-23T11:12:43+0100 (Feb 23, 2026) > [Lakes\_Puma said:](/goto/post?id=771902) > > My Cali is only just over 6 month old and is not a daily driver, yet the wiper blades are already squeaking and juddering, any one else had this, are they just poor quality blades from the factory? > > Click to expand...

OK, not helpful for a T7 necessarily but Halford were less than helpful as they advised us to buy blades that were never going to fit! Not sure why we bothered going there really! Tanya worked out £3 cheaper but we could fit them ourselves outside Europarts and know they were the correct items. ---
