Wiper blades help you see clearly in bad weather, which is crucial for safe driving. But many drivers don’t think about them until they stop working properly. Replacing them at the right time keeps you safer while driving.
How Long Do Wipers Last?
Most wiper blades last about six months to a year, depending on how often you use them, the weather, and their material. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help them last longer.
What Affects Their Lifespan?
Hot summers, freezing winters, and too much sun can make wipers wear out faster. If you use your wipers a lot in rainy or snowy weather, they’ll wear out even faster—especially the regular rubber ones. Silicone or coated rubber wipers tend to last longer. Parking in the shade and keeping blades clean can prevent damage and extend their life.
If your wipers leave streaks, make noise, skip across the windshield, or have visible cracks, it’s time for a new set. Poor contact with the glass can reduce visibility, especially in bad weather.
How to Make Wipers Last Longer
To keep your wipers in good shape:
1. Wipe them down regularly to remove dirt.
2. Use washer fluid instead of running them on a dry windshield.
3. Lift them in freezing weather to prevent ice buildup.
4. Park in the shade to slow down rubber deterioration.
They might not get much attention, but wipers are crucial for driving safely. Replacing the wipers in time can ensure a clear view to avoid failure at critical moments.
