The wiper blades on your car might not be something you think about often but if you ever get caught in a heavy downpour you’ll know exactly why keeping blades in great working condition is important. Windshield wiper blades help to clear the water away from your glass and preventing you from seeing what’s in front of you while you drive. Poor performing blades will fail to do this and could be dangerous in many situations.
Here are 3 easy things you can do to ensure your windshield wiper blades are always ready to do their job.
One of the easiest ways to tell that your wipers need to be replaced is to look, listen and feel the wipers for imperfections. Worn wipers will scrape, make noise, and even miss complete areas when clearing the windshield. You can also find your fingers over the blade if it’s dirty or missing chunks of the rubber it’s time to replace them.
Even if you’ve never changed windshield wipers on a car before it’s pretty easy to handle on your own. So long as you purchase the blades made specifically for your year, make, and model and you purchase a right and left side blade, then all you need to do is pull back the clips on the top of the wipers hold them in place, slide the old wipers out, and slide the new ones in the same way then pop the tab closed again to lock it into place.
Even if you successfully installed your new wiper blades, it’s important to test them out and not wait for serious weather conditions to find out if they are working properly or not. Using your washer spray and activate the wipers to ensure they are full removing the liquid and moving smoothly back and forth.
