Have You Changed Your Wiper Blades Lately?Wiper blades should be replaced every six months to a year or as soon as you notice a difference in driving visibility. When wiper blades no longer make proper contact with the windshield surface, they can begin to squeak, chatter, skip, smear or streak reducing driving visibility.When inspecting wiper blades, look for the following:Broken frame - detachment of frame arms at joints or connection points.Metal Corrosion - especially at joints and claws.Visible cracks, tears, and missing pieces in the rubber squeegee's edge.Flex rubber squeegee back and forth to see if it is still flexible. Aged squeegees will have difficulty conforming to the shape of your windshield and create streaks.Check squeegee wiping edge for rounded edges which can prevent the wiper blade from making strong contact with the windshield and reduces wipe quality.Tug to ensure wiper blade has been securely installed on the wiper arm.Check that squeegee is secure in the wiper frame.

 

 

Common Wiper Problems

 

Streaking occurs when the rubber squeegee dries, hardens and cracks. It can also be caused by tree sap, road tar and other foreign substances collected on either the glass or the blade.Skipping occurs when the blade develops a curvature from lack of use (e.g. left in the 'parked position' for an extended length of time).Wearing occurs with extensive use and is when the rubber edges are rounded instead of squared.Splitting is caused when the sun's ultraviolet rays penetrate the rubber squeegee, causing it to breakdown and separate from the frame.Bent Refill Vertebra and Bent Frames cause inconsistent contact with the glass surface, creating streaking or skipping.Avoid these common problems and extend the life of your wiper blades by following these simple steps:Clean your windshield every time you fill your gas tank.Gently wipe the rubber squeegee with a damp paper towel to remove any loose dirt or oil.Never use your windshield wipers to de-ice your windshield. Instead, either use an ice scraper or use your defroster to melt snow and ice.Pull your wiper blades away from the windshield during winter months to prevent ice build up on the rubber squeegee and to prevent them from sticking to the windshield.
