When Should You Replace Your Wiper Blades?

Wiper blades may be small, but they’re vital for driving safety.
If they leave streaks or make noise, your visibility — and safety — are at risk.
That’s why regular checks and timely replacement matter.

Check the Condition

Replace them every 6–12 months, or sooner in hot weather.
Look for these signs:

• Streaks or uneven wiping
• Noise or vibration on glass
• Cracks, bends, or hardened rubber

If any apply — it’s time for new blades.

Common Causes of Wear

Sunlight, oil, dust, and salt can all speed up aging.
Avoid using wipers on dry or dirty glass.
Clean your windshield often and park out of direct sun.
