Routine Windshield Wiper Blades Maintenance

Windshield wiper blades remove moisture and other obstructions from the windshield, threatening visibility. Most drivers understand the value of windshield wiper blades when driving in heavy rain. Windshield wiper blades are essential for safety but are thin rubber strips that don’t last very long, especially in extreme Texas heat that causes them to become brittle and lose the flexibility needed for optimal squeegee action. We recommend knowing the signs of wiper blade decline and get replacement service as recommended.

How to Know When Wiper Blades Need Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be replaced frequently to ensure visibility and safety in adverse conditions. Most drivers can monitor wiper blade performance and check the blades’ integrity monthly to know when replacement is needed. Here is what to check for to know when your old blades are due for replacement:

• Rubber Damage – Damaged blades should be replaced immediately; damage often includes tearing away from the frame, missing chunks, or cracking.
• Poor Performance – Wiper blades leave excessive streaks, haze, or film.
• Poor Contact – Blades are not making good contact with the windshield, often skipping across the windshield with a chattering noise.
• Age – Wiper blades should be replaced at least annually.
