Wiper blade wear causing scratches on Mini Cooper windshield

I’ve noticed that the wiper blades on my Mini Cooper seem to wear out quickly and occasionally scratch the windshield, leaving permanent marks. Considering local road dust and weather conditions, how often should wiper blades be replaced? Are there specific brands o r types recommended for Mini Coopers in Pakistan that minimize scratching and streaks? Any tips to maintain the windshield while prolonging wiper blade life?

Wiper blades wear faster in Pakistan due to:

Dust, sand, and pollution that grind against the glass.

Heat from sun exposure, which can harden rubber.

Heavy rain and frequent use in monsoon seasons.

Solutions:

Replace wiper blades every 6–12 months depending on usage and local conditions.

Use OEM Mini Cooper o r high-quality aftermarket blades designed for curved windshields.

Clean wiper blades regularly with a damp cloth to remove grit.

Ensure the windshield itself is free from debris before using wipers.
