About Windshield Wiper Blades

Windshield wiper blades remove obstructions from the windshield, usually rain, snow, or an icy mix depending upon the weather and the season. They are made of rubber with a contoured frame for optimal contact with the windshield glass to optimize clearing moisture or other obstructions. Their rubber design to optimize windshield clearing is their limitation as the rubber will eventually succumb to use and extreme temperatures. When wiper blades lose integrity or performance, they will need to be replaced promptly.

How to Tell When Wiper Blades Need Replacement

There are a few basic ways to know if windshield wiper blades need replacement. If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, it is time to replace the old blades:

  • Do the blades leave streaks, haze, or filming?
  • Do the blades chatter or skip across the windshield?
  • Are the frames bent?
  • Do the blades make poor contact with the windshield?
  • Is the blade rubber compromised or damaged in any way?
  • Are the wiper blades over one year old?

Tips for Extending Wiper Blade Life

Even though windshield wiper blades are made of rubber and cannot last for very long no matter what we do, some conditions wreak havoc on wiper blade rubber, and some practices can help extend their life by protecting the rubber. Here are a few simple pointers for getting the most out of your wiper blades:

  • Lift blades out of snow/ice before turning the wipers on
  • Do not scrape the windshield with the blades down
  • Clean the blades with windshield wiper fluid
  • Park in the shade
  • Do not operate wipers on a dry windshield
 

Why Should My Wiper Blades be in Excellent Condition?

Wiper blades clear your windshield during adverse weather conditions, which makes them a component essential for safety. They need to remain in excellent condition to enhance windshield clearing performance, provide optimal visibility, and help make the drive as safe as possible in adverse conditions. When it rains, sleets, hails, or snows, you will know precisely why an excellent set of wiper blades is a right decision.
