How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Replacing Windshield Wipers

Maintaining the windshield wipers on your vehicle is advantageous for various reasons. For starters, properly functioning windshield wipers reduce safety hazards associated with poor visibility. If you can't see clearly, you are at a higher risk of getting into a car accident. That's especially true when your visibility is compromised in bad weather or when the outside lighting is dim. If windshield wipers go too long in between changes, they can start to become worn out. That may lead to cracks and fraying. If the windshield wipers are broken, they will eventually begin to impact the integrity of the glass. The scratches can worsen over time, which may cause the glass itself to break or shatter in extreme conditions. Finally, replacing windshield wipers as necessary will save money on car repairs. You can also avoid paying bills related to car accidents, such as hospital and insurance bills.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

The frequency with which you should change the windshield wipers on your car varies. One rule of thumb that you can follow is time. The wipers should be changed at least once every 12 months, although some manufacturers suggest replacing the wiper blades twice each year. Other factors can influence how often the wipers need to be changed. Those variations can occur even for cars of the same make and model. For example, if your wipers are constantly subjected to ice, snow, or rain, they're likely to wear out more quickly than wipers on a car in a drier environment. Therefore, if you live in a place with heavy precipitation, it's a good idea to have the wipers evaluated before and after the winter or rainy season.
