It is recommended to change your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months, or more frequently if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions. Worn wiper blades can cause streaking, smearing, and reduced visibility, which can be dangerous while driving. Here are some signs that your wiper blades may need to be replaced:
- Reduced visibility
- Streaks or smears
- Skipping or juddering
- Rips, tears, or cracks in the rubber
- Loose or broken brackets
- Squeaking or chattering noises
By replacing your wiper blades regularly, you can ensure optimal visibility and safety while driving.
