Your vehicle's
windshield wipers are designed to provide you with a clear, streak-free view of
the road in rainy and wet conditions. Your safety depends on it.
When should you
consider replacing your wiper blades? If it's been longer than six months, it's
probably time to replace them or at the very least get an
inspection. |

Here's
why:
Dust particles, debris,
and insects can dull the surface of your wiper blades over time, while larger
particles can cause nicks, scratches and tears. The result? Streaking, spotting
and smudging.
Warm summer temperatures
may have caused the rubber on your wiper blades to wear, harden or warp. Worn
rubber or rubber hardened by exposure to UV rays can lead to streaking.
If you live in an area
that experiences ice and snow, abrasive road salt can wear away the cutting edge
your wipers rely on to maintain a clear view.
Ice and snow can also
pack into the metal blade frames and cause the blades to malfunction. (Equipping
your vehicle with Genuine Subaru Winter Wipers with protective rubber sleeves is
your best bet to help prevent this buildup.)
Never underestimate the
importance of fresh wiper blades. Not only will they add to your driving safety
and peace of mind, but you'll also enjoy a better view of the adventures
ahead. |
