Windshield Wiper Blades for
MINI Cooper R56 Hatchback/Hardtop (2007-2014)
Maintenance for your MINI Cooper is important for the safety of you and other drivers. Through time your wiper blades become dry, cracked, and damaged from different weather conditions. Windshield wiper inspection and replacement, especially prior to your region's wet-weather season, should be a routine.
Worn-out blades can impair your visibility, increasing the chance of a possible accident. Check your windshield wipers every 6 months. If they're creating squeaky noises, leaving streaks, sticking, or other abnormal issues it's time to replace your windshield wiper blades.
Here at MiniMania, we provide windshield wiper blades for every MINI model. We offer OEM and Aftermarket front, rear, and 3-piece wiper blade sets for your Gen2 MINI Cooper R56 Hardtop/Hatchback.
