Why Windshield Wipers Matter

Your windshield wiper system isn’t just a convenience—it’s a critical safety feature. Worn windshield washer blades can leave streaks, reduce visibility, and make it harder to spot obstacles in your path. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, ensuring a clear view of the road is a key factor in preventing accidents. By staying proactive with car wiper blade change, you can significantly enhance your driving experience and safety.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Wiper Blades

Not sure when to switch out those old wipers? Look for these common indicators that you need a car wipers replacement:

  1. Streaking or Smearing: If your windshield wiper blades leave lines or smudges, it’s a sign the rubber has worn down.
  2. Squeaking or Chattering: Wiper blades should glide smoothly. If they skip, chatter, or squeak even on a wet windshield, it’s time for wiper replacement.
  3. Cracked or Split Rubber: If the rubber is peeling or cracking, the blade is no longer effective.
  4. Reduced Visibility in Rain or Snow: If precipitation isn’t cleared quickly and cleanly, it’s time to change.

In general, consider changing the windshield wipers every 6-12 months, especially in climates like Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, and Sherwood Park, where weather can be tough on equipment.

Use Washer Fluid

Avoid running wipers on dry glass. Pairing wipers with proper washer fluid helps prevent wear.

Avoid Using on Ice

Gliding over some frost is ok but when you have actual ice buildup, scrape your windshield. Wipers won’t clean it off anyways and it will damage them.

Park in the Shade

Where possible, reduced sun exposure can help preserve the rubber, extending blade life.
