How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

Although you don't use the windshield wipers on your car every day, you'll still want to keep them in good shape. Windshield wipers protect you and occupants in your vehicle and other drivers by providing outward visibility through the windshield. If you can't see clearly out of the front, you're more likely to be involved in an accident. That's especially true in rainy weather, which is responsible for more than 45% of all crashes on the road. You might not realize it, but the wipers can also damage the windshield on your vehicle if they become damaged and deteriorate. The bumps and uneven surfaces that develop on the wiper blades can cause scratches on the glass of the vehicle's windshield that can then become deeper. If the glass isn't repaired, it can crack all the way through. Since wiper blades are fairly inexpensive and don't take much time to replace, keeping them in good shape won't significantly impact your auto budget.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

The ideal replacement schedule for windshield wipers depends on the car and driving conditions. The blades that your car has also influence their longevity. Higher-quality blades may last up to a year before they need to be replaced. However, blades that are not top-notch might need to be replaced every six months. If the blades have to endure heavy snowfall or ice buildup over a long winter, or if you live in a rainy area, the blades may need to be changed closer to the half-year mark. If the wiper blades leave streaks on the windshield or develop uneven surfaces, it's probably time for a replacement.
