How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

Many drivers don't think much of their wipers until they need them. Even though you might only use the windshield wipers during the occasional rain or snowstorm, you're glad to have them when needed. Just like any part of your car, however, the windshield wipers do not last forever. They need to be replaced periodically for safety and performance. Working wipers are crucial to vehicle safety, regardless of the type of car you drive. If the wipers are not working effectively, they won't be able to keep the windshield clear of dirt, ice, or grime, which can create poor visibility and increase your risk of a crash. Worn-out wipers can also fray or crack. If they're left unfixed, they will scrape against the glass on your windshield, which can cause the glass to crack and lead to more costly car repairs.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

The optimal windshield wiper replacement schedule for your vehicle depends on your unique situation. Generally, the windshield wipers in the front and back of your car should be changed at the same time for consistent performance and quality assurance. You should aim to have the wipers replaced at least once a year, but you may need to have them changed twice a year for optimal quality. For example, you may need to have the windshield wipers replaced more often if you start with wiper blades of a lower quality, as they are likely to wear out more quickly. Additionally, driving in harsh winters with snow, ice, freezing temperatures, or driving in a place with frequent rain might necessitate more frequent wiper blade changes.
