When is it Time to Replace Your Windshield Wipers?
Windshield wipers remove rain, snow, and dirt from your car’s windshield quickly at the push of a button. These wipers endure temperature extremes, from sub-zero winter weather to scorching desert sunshine, often operating for hours at a time. We tend to take them for granted.
You should change your windshield wipers every twelve to twenty-four months, depending on weather conditions and the quality of the blades. Over time, wiper blades lose their effectiveness in clearing rain, snow, and other debris. Environmental factors like UV rays and ozone cause wiper blades to age.
Preventively Replace Your Windshield Wipers
When a blade is past its prime, it will start to crack or come apart. If you don’t replace a cracked wiper blade, it may eventually detach, allowing the metal wiper arm to scratch the window permanently. Clear visibility is crucial for safe driving. Faulty wiper blades can leave you blind during a sudden downpour or when bugs and debris obscure your view.
