Windshield Wipers

The wiper blades on your vehicle are what you depend on the moment it starts raining outside. You use them to clear off your windshield so you can maintain visibility on the road. If wiper blades start to wear down, you could end up doing more harm than good when using them.

Since they are exposed to a range of elements, along with sunlight, these parts do tend to wear down quicker than others and will need replacement between every six months to a year, typically. You should be checking the wiper blades on a regular basis to determine if you need a new set. You can look at the rubber to see if any visible cracks are present. Any cracks will prevent the blades from making proper contact with the glass. If you notice streaks across the glass, this is another sign to get new wipers. Squeaking and chattering of the blades over the windshield is also something that is a sign they are wearing down.

It's a smart idea to have a spare set of wiper blades on hand so you can make a quick replacement when needed. Find the right OEM wiper blades for your car here at Suburban Auto Parts.
