Your windshield wipers are an important part of your vehicle, providing safety by giving you extra visibility during rainstorms. They’re an important tool to have with your car and so it’s a great idea to always stay on top of their health.
It’s generally a good idea to change your wiper blades every six months to a year depending on how much wear they go through. However, if you find that your windshield wipers are starting to streak or otherwise decay, you should always get them replaced quickly. Not replacing your wiper blades when they’re in poor condition can lead to decreased visibility on the road.
If your wiper blades are worn, you’ll likely see a few signs simply by watching them in operation. The biggest sign is when they start leaving streaks or the squeegee starts physically falling off. If you’re seeing streaks it could be a matter of the squeegee being dirty or collecting debris from fallen leaves or dirt.
Streaking and worn out squeegees can also be caused by the physical drying out of the squeegee itself. If your wipers aren’t used often and maybe you live in a dry climate, they may become worn out more often. Simple aging can be a major cause of wear and tear on your wiper blades so it’s good to keep them up to date often.
Another thing to look out for when finding if your wipers need to be replaced is simply to physically inspect them. If the joints of the wiper appear rusted or the squeegee has become brittle, that’s a good time to switch them out for new ones.
