Wiper Blades for Citroen
From the compact C3 to the grand-touring C5 Aircross, every Citroën rolls off the line with wiper technology that mirrors the brand’s century-long habit of firsts. Factory-fitted Valeo Silencio beam blades hug the double-curved glass with a quiet sweep, guided by optical rain sensors that wake the system the instant fine drizzle touches the screen. Hidden-park arms slip below the bonnet edge to streamline airflow, while optional AquaBlade channels deliver washer fluid through laser-cut slots along the rubber itself — precision worthy of the chevron badge.

Citroen’s approach to visibility blends inventive engineering with everyday practicality. The one-piece beam construction of its OE blades replaces the old metal framework with a stainless internal spine that flexes exactly to each windscreen radius, whether on the panoramic C4 Picasso or the upright Berlingo van. An integrated aero spoiler dampens lift at autoroute speeds, trimming cabin wind noise by up to three decibels compared with framed designs fitted a decade ago.
Technological flair shows in the details. AquaBlade variants route washer fluid through micro-etched ports along the wiping edge, reducing consumption by sixty percent and clearing salt spray in a single pass. Hybrid and electric models such as the ë-C4 pair these blades with low-draw brushless motors, conserving battery charge without sacrificing the 0.6-second full stroke demanded by Euro NCAP visibility tests.
Cold-climate packs add heating elements inside both the blade spine and the scuttle-mounted jets, keeping rubber supple at –25 °C and sending washer fluid out at a frost-busting 60 °C. For panoramic glass, multi-link pantograph arms maintain constant tip pressure right into the screen corners—essential when 180-degree forward vision is part of the Citroen design language.
Maintenance remains true to the marque’s user-friendly ethos. Switch off the ignition, tap the stalk once and the arms rise into service mode; a thumb on the push-button connector releases the blade, allowing a tool-free swap in under a minute. Citroën advises seasonal inspection and annual replacement, but graphite-coated OE rubber often keeps its streak-free sweep well beyond twelve months.
While quality aftermarket sets from Bosch, Trico or Ridex match the mounting geometry, choosing genuine Silencio or SWF blades secures the exact curvature, graphite treatment and aero balance calibrated in Stellantis’ wind tunnel—restoring factory-fresh clarity, and with it the confident, relaxed drive that defines every modern Citroen.
