Do your wiper blades clear your windshield completely? Have you had them checked recently? When's the last time you checked your wiper fluid? If you answered no' or I don't know' to any of those questions you may need a quick refresher on wiper blades. Learn everything you need to knowbefore the next rain storm.
First things first. Wiper blades are not an accessorythey are a safety feature. Caring for your wiper blades is just as important as maintaining your breaks. You should regularly inspect your wiper blades and ensure they don't produce streaks on your window. Occasionally use either mild dish detergent or windshield washer fluid on a damp sponge and clean dirt and debris off the rubber blades and also from the windshield where the wipers rest.
Don't try to save money on your wiper blades. Invest in your safety. When one blade needs replacement you should also replace the other one. Make certain you are purchasing the correct sized wiper blades for your vehicle. Check your owner's manual, measure the blades, or inquire at your local auto-parts store. On some vehicles, one blade is shorter than the other, so measure both wiper blades. Measure your rear wiper if you have one.
If you want to extend the life of your wiper blades, try not to use them for heavy duty cleaning. If your windshield is covered with heavy snow and ice, clean it off manually instead of destroying your wiper blades. Another tip is to always use your windshield washer fluid in conjunction with your wipers. Using your wiper blades on dry glass causes the rubber to wear faster than normal.
With proper maintenance, your wiper blades should protect you for about eight to nine months. After that time you should inspect them regularly to make sure they're working properly. If you don't feel comfortable replacing your own wiper blades you can usually go to a local mechanic or auto parts store and get them replaced for a nominal fee.
