When To Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades:

For those who turn the key and go without worrying about maintenance needs, the time between wiper blade changes could be a few months to a year too long. It is only when the blades are worn to the point that they can no longer clear the windshield that these drivers decide they need new blades. If you see any of the four signs listed below, then it is time to replace your vehicle’s wiper blades. 

1. STREAKING - When blades are bent or damaged, they will become less effective at clearing your windshield of rain, snow, sleet and other road elements. Under grueling pressure, blades will eventually start leaving streaks where the rubber is no longer snug against the windshield.

2. SQUEAKING - Unpleasant high-pitched noises shouldn’t accompany wiper blade operation. If you hear squeaks every time you turn on your wipers, this could indicate a number of issues, including build-up of debris or grime, or worn or damaged rubber elements potentially causing damage to the windshield glass. 

3. CHATTER - Extreme heat or low temperatures can cause chatter, or the loss of ability to smoothly pivot back and forth. Permanent set, caused by exposure to extreme heat, occurs when the rubber element is fixed in one position. On the other hand, frigid temperatures can stiffen the element, causing cold set and limiting wiping abilities. 

4. AGING - Wiper blades spend their service life putting up with rain, snow, sleet, road debris, bugs and bird droppings. These harsh elements make aging, or regular wear, inevitable, and they make regular replacement a priority. A general rule is to change wiper blades every six months, though extreme conditions could necessitate a shorter time before wipers need to be replaced.
