How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

Periodically, the windshield wipers on your car need to be replaced for performance and safety. Although you're used to having the wipers clear the windshield of ice and snow when you need it, they need to be regularly maintained to perform at their best. Keeping the windshield wipers clean and in good condition is essential for reasons that range from safety to cost savings. Windshield wipers are designed to prevent snow, ice, and debris from building up on the windshield and obscuring your vision. If the windshield wipers wear out, they won't remove debris from the windshield, which can reduce visibility. If the windshield wipers wear out, they are also prone to cracking and fraying. Worn windshield wipers can cause friction against the glass on your car's windshield. Eventually, the glass will develop cracks as a result. If the glass isn't repaired, the windshield is at risk of shattering. Another good reason to replace your windshield wipers is cost savings. Changing the windshield wipers on your car can save money on more costly car repair bills down the road. It can also help avoid expenses related to car accidents.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

Generally, automakers recommend replacing the windshield wipers on your car once or twice a year. However, certain conditions and circumstances may warrant more frequent windshield wiper replacement. Suppose you drive in a location that experiences cold winter temperatures and frequent snowfall, ice, or rain. In that case, you may need to get the windshield wipers replaced more often than the manufacturer's recommendations, as harsh environmental conditions can cause the windshield wipers to wear out sooner. It's always a good idea to have the wipers checked before and after winter or after a season of heavy rain.
