Windshield wipers may not be the most dynamic components on your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited, but they are vital for safe driving. Also, they require regular care and maintenance. Here is how to make sure they work correctly when you need them. Always Defrost
Heavy snow and ice can cause wiper blades to stick or even snap if they freeze to the glass. The best protection against this is to get a remote starter - like the one that comes standard on the Jeep Cherokee Limited - so that you can take care of the defrosting before you leave the house.Â
Never Wipe Dry Glass
The blades are designed for wet windshields. The only time you should use them without precipitation is when you clean your glass using wiper fluid.Â
Replace Every Six Months
Wipers have a short lifespan, so replace them regularly. The recommended schedule is twice a year. You will notice skipping or smearing when it is time for new blades.Â
Take Extra Care in the Winter
To avoid your wipers from freezing on the windshield glass, pull the blades away from the windshield. Doing so will extend the life of your wipers and make it easier to scrape away any ice and snow.
You can have the blades upgraded when you visit our Calgary service centre for an oil change or other regular maintenance. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
