When should you replace your windshield wipers?  

Over time, wiper blades wear, crack, and need to be replaced. Dirt can also build up on the blades. Either way, over time, wiper blades don’t slide back and forth over the windshield evenly. They will leave streaks and clean poorly. It is necessary to have good wiper blades to keep a driver’s windshield as clear as possible. It is especially important to have good wiper blades during the winter to ensure a clean windshield from all the wet and salty roads. Worn wiper blades can also lose chunks of rubber from the blade. If a blade loses a large chunk, then one of the blades arms can damage the windshield by scratching or nicking it.

If your wiper blades are leaving a streak across your windshield, you should clean them with a towel to remove any dirt build up. This can extend the life of your wiper blade. However, if your wiper blade appears worn or cracked, it should be replaced to ensure a clean windshield. Generally, you should replace your windshield wiper blades every six months.
