When should I replace the windshield wipers on my car?

While having a vehicle is undoubtedly a convenience when it comes to traveling quickly and comfortably, maintaining your car can be a bit more difficult. One of the things you need to keep an eye on is the windshield wipers. So, let’s take a look at when you should think about replacing them.

How to tell when your wiper blades need replacing

Typically, you’ll want to replace your wiper blades 6 months to a year. Now, that leaves you 6 months of wiggle room to determine when the best time is to replace the blades. Thankfully, there are some tell-tale signs that can tell you when your wiper blades need replacing.

• Is there a tear in the rubber part of the wiper blades?
• Are the wiper blades squeaking or scraping when you turn them on?
• Are the blades leaving smears across your windshield?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you may want to take a look into getting new wiper blades. In order to determine which size blades you need, you’ll need to know the make, model, and year of your car. Or, you can find it in the driver’s manual of your car. Of course, you can always contact your local service team who can change them for you.
