How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

Replacing the windshield wipers on your vehicle as needed has many benefits. First, and most importantly, is safety. Even if you don't use the windshield wipers very often, it's important to have wipers in prime working condition when you need them. You rely on the windshield wipers to remove snow, ice, rain, dirt, and other elements from the windshield so that you can see clearly out the front. If your line of vision is blocked, you're at a greater risk of getting into a car accident. Your passengers and other drivers on the road may also be impacted by the condition of your car's windshield wipers if they are not properly maintained. Maintaining the windshield wipers can also reduce damage to the car's windshield, which can become damaged by deteriorated windshield wiper blades. The wiper blades normally have a protective layer of rubber that prevents them from scraping the glass on the car's windshield. However, the glass can become scratched and cracked if the rubber layer wears off, which leaves you with more expensive car repairs.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

There are several ways to tell when it's time to change the wipers on your vehicle. As a rule of thumb, the wipers should be replaced at least once every year, regardless of where you drive. If your wipers are used more often for clearing the windshield, it's a good idea to change the blades more often, even as much as every six months. The windshield wipers in the front should be changed regularly, and you should always change the wipers in the rear at the same time if your car has them. Streaks or smudges on the windshield may also signal that it's time to replace the wipers.
