Wiper blades are key components of a car. Mostly in winters and fall 
they have a lot of work, not throughout the year. The most important 
thing is visibility in winter as it is often filled with precipitation, dull 
daylight and salt on windshield they need to be replaced with a new pair 
of wipers.
Replace if the wipers are broken
If your wiper blades are torn or broken or cracked or they are making 
noise then it’s time to replace them with a new one. If your car blades 
are old, you should replace them. Clean your wipers of any dust as they 
move the water accumulated on the windscreen. The wipers are 
affected a lot as they are outside and more prone to dust, dirt and sun 
rays. The sun rays cause imperfections to the glass thus it affects the 
shape of the glass. The sand and dirt get deposited on blades along with 
oil thereby reducing their effectiveness.
Change wipers in fall
Wipers are generally used in fall and winter so change them during every fall with a new 
wipers. You need to change wipers in winter because anything falling from sky will get 
settled on the windshield of the car. They are open to dust and pollution a lot and needs 
replacement with a fresh set of wipers. Replace the wiper blades after every car 
maintenance schedule. It is very easy to remove and keep the wiper blades without the 
help of any tools. Some cars need same – size wiper blades for driver and passenger 
wiper blades while some require different size blades for both. Ask the store keeper for 
the correct wiper to be fixed. There are many wipers in market specially designed for 
winter.
Replace wipers after one year
Depending on location, the place where you stay, replacement of wiper can be 
done after one year. The life of a wiper blade is one year. Change wipers for every 
6 months or one year or depending on the driving visibility. If your wiper blades are 
in good condition then top off the wiper fluid regularly especially in winter and early 
spring. Check for the wiper fluid in the reservoir. Add wiper fluid mixed with de-icer. 
During winters with strong storm falling, an untreated wiper fluid creates ice on 
windows or your wiper blades stopped functioning and need to be changed.
Crack in the windshield
Whenever you find a chip or a crack on the windshield fix it. If action is not taken 
immediately then it can lead to breakdown of windshield which will be again more 
expensive to fix and more dangerous if your driving the car and the breakage 
occurs. The damaged glass is likely to cut the rubber of the wiper blade which 
causes streaking sound and poor visibility. Fix your chips and cracks as soon as 
possible and it is usually covered by car insurance.
