Signs You Need to Replace Your Wiper Blades
When you begin to see streaking on your windshield, that is a telltale sign that your wiper blades need replacement. Don't wait until the missed area or streak is in a place that impedes your vision. Imagine driving and every area is clear except for your direct line of vision. This can lead to a hazard. Once your wipers are making an annoying screeching sound on your windshield it's time to schedule a replacement. That screeching sound can be due to hardened rubber caused by excessive sunlight, or heat. Whatever the reason, the rubber's not in good shape and can break off or cause missed spots and streaking at any moment.
Another sign of worn and tired wiper blades is when you notice the blades are bouncing off of your windshield. The smooth and seamless wiper mechanism has been obstructed and now the wiper is literally not flush on your windshield as they should be. Not only may your wiper blades need replacement, the metal arm that supports the wiper blade may be bent and need repair or replacement as well.
