WINDSHIELDWHIPER

 

 

Typically, windshield wipers are not considered a safety feature, but they do play a big part in drivers’ safety. Dirt and grime buildup can reduce your visibility, so worn wipers could be a driving hazard. By replacing the wipers regularly, you can have a clear view of the road when you drive.

 

Make sure to inspect the windshield wipers regularly. Typically, this should be ever six month or at the start of winter or summer. You might start to notice signs if the windshield has streak or smear marks on it. Also be aware of screeching or squeaking noises that come from the wipers as they operate. Check the wipers to see if they are worn or split. If the frames are bent, it is recommended to have the wipers replaced when you can.

 

Replacing windshield wipers is fairly simple, but steps vary depending on your vehicle’s type of wiper. Your owner’s manual should walk you through the process. Once the blades are installed, test them right away to ensure they work properly, that way you know they will function when you need them to.
