Your windshield wipers are probably not one of those things you think about too often. However, when you are caught in a rainstorm while driving, you depend on them to clear your windshield and improve your visibility. Damaged and cracked wiper blades do not work properly and can scratch your glass. Check your wiper blades and replace them when necessary to ensure that you always have a clear view of the road.
Taking care of your wipers is really quite easy. Periodically, take a wet towel and run it along the edge of the blade. This will remove, dust, dirt, and grime that can build up over time. Washing it away will allow your wipers to work more efficiently and last longer. This is a good time to inspect your blades for areas that look rigid or worn.
Many of us have had the experience of turning on our wipers only to discover that part of the rubber is peeling away. You might hear a screeching sound as the damage parts drag across your windshield. When this happens, you could be scratching or otherwise damaging your windshield. This is why it is so essential to periodically inspect your wipers for damage and replace them about every six months.
