How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

Although you probably don't use the windshield wipers every day, it's still important to keep them in good working condition. The windshield wipers are essential for safety, especially when you are driving in inclement weather. The wipers clear off the glass on the windshield so that you can see properly. That means removing ice, snow, rainwater, and airborne particles that accumulate on the windshield, such as dust and pollen. If the wipers get too worn out, they won't be able to clean off the windshield as effectively. That makes it harder to see out the front windshield, and it poses a significant safety hazard. As the windshield wipers age, they are more prone to wearing out, which causes them to crack or develop rough edges. The wipers can scratch the glass on the windshield, which leads to deeper grooves over time and can weaken the glass to the point that it shatters. By taking care of windshield wiper replacements as needed, you will also avoid more expensive car repairs and the headache of replacing the windshield later.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

Typically, you should aim to get new windshield wipers for your car once or twice a year. If you frequently drive in weather conditions that wear out the wipers, such as cold and snowy winters or rainy spring seasons, your vehicle will likely need to have the wipers changed closer to the six-month mark. However, if you don't use the wipers that often, they should be changed or at least checked for their condition once a year. Using higher-quality windshield wipers to start with can also affect how often they need to be replaced.
