Tips for Maintaining Perfect Windshield Wipers

January 13, 2025

Windshield wipers are typically made of a rubber blade attached to a metal or plastic arm. The rubber is designed to be replaced, as they can wear out or become cracked due to exposure to the sun and weather elements. In this blog we will briefly discuss about making your windshield wipers last.

  • Functionality: Windshield wipers are essential for clearing rain, snow, dirt, and debris from the windshield to make sure the view is clear while driving.
  • Maintenance: Inspect your windshield wipers regularly for wear and tear, such as cracks or fraying, and replace them to make sure they work effectively.
  • Avoid using wipers on dry glass: Never use wipers on a dry windshield, as this can cause the wipers to wear down faster and potentially damage the glass.
  • Check on your wiper fluid:  Make sure the windshield washer fluid is topped off to help clear off any stubborn dirt and maintain a clear view.
  • Cleaning: Keep the wiper blades clean by wiping them down periodically to remove dirt, oil, and other debris that can impair their effectiveness. 

This blog covers things you need to know about windshield wipers, including how they work, when to replace them, and tips for proper maintenance to make sure you have clear visibility and you are safe driving in any weather.
