Windshield wipers may last anywhere from 6 months to a year before they need to be replaced. They’ll eventually need to be replaced as the rubber blade insert that makes contact with the windshield starts to degrade. It may become detached from the blade housing, dirty, cracked, and brittle. Cracked and brittle blades occur when the rubber breaks down over time from exposure to freezing temperatures and the sun’s UV rays.
When your wiper blades start to deteriorate, you’ll notice a few common symptoms. The windshield may become streaky as dirt and mud become trapped in tiny cracks in the rubber blade insert. You may notice the windshield wipers clatter and make noise as it travels roughly across the windshield. Finally, if the windshield wipers cannot clear the rain and snow off the windshield well enough to provide good visibility, that’s an obvious sign that it’s time to replace your wiper blades. Give them a close look and look for cracks and chips in the rubber. Those cracks mean it’s time for a new set of fresh wiper blades for your car.
