Windshield wipers are an important safety feature for your car. When you’re out driving, it’s important to keep your windshield wipers working properly. This way, you can stay safe while driving and protect your windshield from getting dirty. Unfortunately, many people don’t know how to keep their wipers working properly. If you have a weak or stopped wiper arm, the wipers won’t be able to clean the entire windshield quickly. This can lead to all sorts of problems for your windshield, such as poor visibility and an impaired vision.
Tips for Keeping Your Windshield Wipers Working Properly
Always make sure that the wipers are in the best condition possible. This will also help with how efficiently they operate and clean the windshield of your vehicle. The wipers will help clear away any form of precipitation like rain, snow, or sleet. Otherwise, this will build up on the windshield and impair your visibility to drive safely. The wipers will also remove anything like leaves, insects, or road grime that may splash up and onto the windshield. When the wipers operate, if it leaves streaks of water or does not make contact with the windshield, it is time to replace them. The correct size for them can be found in the owner’s manual.

Look for Worn Wipers
Keep an eye on the condition of the wipers, especially when the seasons change. Check the entire wiper to see if any part of it is worn or brittle. During the summer, the heat and sun can cause some of the wipers to become brittle quickly. If they are still used if they are worn or damaged, they can cause scratches to the windshield as they operate. Even if they vibrate or chatter against the windshield, make sure to have them replaced as soon as possible.
