When Should You Replace Your Wiper Blades? 

Many drivers ignore the maintenance of wiper blades until they start to fail. Knowing when to replace your wiper blades enhances your safety and saves you from potential hazards, especially during harsh weather conditions. You should consider replacing your wiper blades when you notice any of these signs.

  1. Streaking or Smearing

If your blades start leaving streaks or smears on your windshield, it means they are no longer making proper contact with the glad, and replacing them might be the best step. Aside from blurring your vision, continuous streaking or smearing can damage the glass, forcing an extra cost. 

  1. Chattering or Skipping

You should consider instant replacement once your blade starts making noise when moving over the glass. This noise indicates uneven movement of the blade, which is an obvious sign of a worn-out blade. 

  1. Crack or Splits 

Cracks or splits on the wiper blades cause visible damage to the rubber around the blade, and a replacement might be the only way out. This damage reduces the efficiency of the blades, causing blurred vision, especially during adverse weather conditions. 

  1. Rubber Hardening 

The rubber around your wiper blade is supposed to be soft and flexible. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme weather can cause the rubber to harden, reducing flexibility and effectiveness. A hardened rubber means it's time for a replacement. 

  1. General Reduced Performance 

Effective blades are supposed to leave a clear screen with every sweep over the glass. If your wiper blade starts to struggle to clear rain or debris, it's time for a change.

How Long Should You Use Wiper Blades Before Considering a Replacement?

Although wiper blades are essential for visibility, you don't get to use them all the time. However, it is best they are in the best working shape anytime you need the blades. As a general rule, wiper blades should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. However, you should consider replacing them sooner if you notice streaking, squeaking, or a reduced ability to clear water from your windshield.
