How do i know when my wiper blade need changing


Check your wiper blades for these signs of wear:

CRACKED RUBBER
Look for splits and slashes, evidence of a hard wiper life.

TORN RUBBER
Element has pulled away from its metal support, slaps windshield on each wiping pass.

ABRASION WORN RUBBER
Worn down, ragged edges from winter conditions or infrequent rubber element refilling.

PARK SET RUBBER
Hardened rubber element caused by direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes when wipers are idle. Rubber with little or no flexibility causes chatter and skips across windshield.

CONTAMINATED RUBBER
Usually caused by road film or chemicals adhering to rubber refill surface.

IMPROPERLY INSTALLED REFILL
Refill too short or not properly installed loses its effectiveness and may result in a scratched windshield.

DAMAGED SUPERSTRUCTURE
Bent arm, blade or refill is a dead giveaway, caused by ice scrapers and car wash equipment.
