The Ageing Process of Windshield Wiper Blades

The blade of your windshield wiper is made of a specialized rubber compound that is shaped to perfectly contact your windshield. This allows it to remove water and other debris extremely efficiently, guaranteeing a clear view of what’s in front of your car. However, over time and with temperature changes, the rubber compound starts to stiffen, crack, chip, and warp, all of which cause that fit with the windshield to be disrupted, greatly decreasing the efficiency of your wiper blades.

When to Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades

Generally, windshield wiper blades can lose their efficiency after about six months of use. However, the easiest way to know if you need new windshield wipers is to use them and see how well they remove water. If there’s water leftover on your windshield, or you hear a thudding/vibration noise when your wipers go across the windshield, you know it’s time to get them replaced. Because a little water can obscure a lot of your vision, it’s essential to get your windshield wiper blades replaced as soon as possible.
