Wiper refills are a practical and affordable way to restore the performance of your existing wiper blades without replacing the full assembly. These consist of durable rubber strips that attach to your blade frame, providing smooth, streak-free wiping across your windscreen. Regular replacement of worn rubber helps reduce streaking, skipping, and squeaking, while maintaining clear visibility in all weather conditions. Wiper refills are ideal for everyday driving, heavy rain, or long trips, keeping your vision safe and your drive comfy.

Frequently Asked Questions - Wiper Refills
What is a wiper refill?
A wiper refill is the rubber or silicone strip that attaches to your wiper blade frame. Replacing the refill restores wiping performance without replacing the full blade, which is usually more cost-effective.
What’s the difference between rubber and silicone wiper refills?
Rubber refills are the most common and provide reliable performance at an affordable price, making these great for everyday driving. Silicone refills are more resistant to heat and UV damage, tend to last longer, but can leave a light water-repellent coating on the windshield.
How do I know if I need a wiper refill?
You might need a refill if you notice streaks or smears when wiping your windshield, skipping or chattering blades, cracks, tears, or dryness in the rubber, or reduced visibility in rain or snow.
Are wiper refills compatible with all wiper blades?
Not always. Wiper refills come in different sizes, lengths, and attachment types (hook, pin, or bayonet style). Check your vehicle’s wiper blade type or the refill packaging for compatibility.
How do I measure my wiper refill size?
To measure your wiper refill size, remove the old rubber from your wiper blade and measure its length in inches or millimetres. It’s important to check both the driver and passenger sides, as these may have slightly different lengths.
How long does a wiper refill last?
A wiper refill usually lasts between 6-12 months, depending on weather, how often you use your wipers, and the quality of the refill. Refills generally wear out faster than a full wiper blade replacement since these only replace the rubber or silicone strip, not the entire blade assembly.
Can I use any brand of refill with my wiper blades?
While many refills are cross-compatible, it’s best to follow the blade manufacturer’s recommendation. Using a non-compatible refill may reduce wiping efficiency or be a poor fit.
Which wiper refills will fit my vehicle?
Finding the right wiper refills for your vehicle is simple. Enter your car rego into ‘My Garage’ on the Supercheap Auto website, and you’ll see the refills that suit your exact make and model.
