Your car’s windshield wipers might be small, but they serve a vital purpose. And that’s why you should ensure they are always in top shape.
It’s simple to do – if you remember a few essential tips. Always try to keep the windshield as clean as possible, which not only improves your view, but it helps the wipers move away the rain more effectively too. On that note, never run them over dry glass – it causes damage incredibly quickly.
You should replace the blades around twice a year, but more often if you use your wipers a lot. Are you noticing loud squeaking or excessive smearing? That means it’s time to change them out. Furthermore, in the wintertime, pull them away from the glass to prevent sticking ahead of freezing weather, and always defrost the windshield before activating them.
