Windshield Wiper Replacement

What’s important about a vehicle’s Windshield Wiper?

Windshield wiper blades keep the windshield clear of any rain, snow, and debris falling outside that could block your visibility. They are essential, especially if you live in a country or state that experiences severe rain showers or snow storms.

Without windshield wipers that are of decent quality and fit your vehicle’s windshield, driving in weather with poor visibility will be even more dangerous. Your wiper blades need to be replaced regularly to ensure proper visibility and having an automotive windshield wiper blades replacement is necessary for this.

Are you in need of an Windshield Wiper Blades repair?

A simple part of the vehicle that we see every day can encounter several issues when it comes time to replace them. Listed below are a few of the most common problems people encounter.

A few warning signs include:

Low visibility: If you notice that no matter how hard your windshield wipers are working, you can’t clear your windshield, then a dull set of blades could be the reason.

Worn down or cracked squeegees: If you notice that the rubber on your windshield wiper blades isn’t in one piece, or isn’t touching your windshield, it’s time for a windshield wiper blade replacement.

Lack of flexibility: Although the windshield wiper blades are touching the glass, are they fully conformed to the glass? If not, then it’s time to get them replaced.

Loose blades: Not all blades fit every type of car, so if you’ve replaced your blades yourself and they don’t fit correctly, seeking out a professional’s help is recommended.

Blades not contacting the windshield: Are your blades not touching the windshield at all? The rubber could be worn down too far to touch the glass and therefore need to be replaced.

Marks left on glass or blades sticking: Worn down and damaged windshield wiper blades can begin to stick and leave streaks on your windshield when it’s time to replace them.

Why does it matter?

Replacing your windshield wipers revives visibility when driving. Damaged or ill-fitted windshield wipers will struggle to push rain and snow away, making it difficult to see.

Getting a windshield wiper blades replacement will also reduce the likelihood that you could get into an accident or hit something due to a dirty windshield.

A professional mechanic will also be able to find the correct blades for your vehicle faster, cutting down the amount of time it would take for you to find them yourself, thereby lessening the frustration of having to change the blades.

The benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacements

Improved Safety

Having a windshield wiper blade replacement will not only keep your windshield clear but inherently improve your safety while driving. Being able to see through your windshield without excess dirt in your way, you will be less likely to accidentally bump your vehicle into something.

Improved Visibility

New windshield wiper blades will keep your windshield clearer than before, as they clear off any bugs, dirt, rain, or snow out of your line of sight.

Improved Comfort When Driving

After having your wiper blades replaced, you’ll no longer have to squint to see past the dirt on your windshield or lean forward to see better.

Saves Time & Money

By having a professional replace your wiper blades, you will save yourself time and frustration, as well as some money in trying to find which set of blades goes to your vehicle.

Types of windshield wiper blades

There are different types of windshield wiper blades to know before taking your vehicle in for its windshield wiper blades replacement. The three types of wiper blades include traditional, beam, and hybrid.

Traditional wiper blades are the most affordable and are made from metal and rubber. Beam wiper blades are made of a solid piece of rubber with no frame and tend to be the most expensive of the three types. Hybrid wiper blades have a rubber covering the metal frame and vary in affordability.

As stated earlier, the size of your windshield wiper blades does matter. If you have blades that are too small, then your windshield won’t receive the coverage it needs to fully clear. Whereas, blades that are too large swing out too far and can hit the trim, breaking the blades.
