New Wiper Blades: The Key to your Car's Safety

Most people don't realize they need to replace their blades until they hit a torrential downpour, splash through some mud, or experience a snowstorm, and they can't see. However, other clues might help you head off waiting until you need the power of your wiper blades before it's a necessity.

Why are new wiper blades vital?

Wiper blades are important because they keep your line of sight clear. This visibility can make a significant difference in how you drive and reduce the possibility of an accident. For those with eye strain, if you're trying to look through all the muck and guck that the windshield wipers aren't removing, you'll find the driving becomes harder just because it makes you more tired. It's also one of the least expensive and most effective ways to maintain your car's safety.

Clues that you might want to get new wiper blades

When the spongy replaceable part of your blades wears down, you will hear a scratching noise. It can start sounding a little bit like mice eating at your floorboard and progressed to a sound that's deafening and grating. This problem scratches your windshield, and not only can't you see through the permanent streaks it creates, it compromises the integrity of your windshield. Your windshield can shatter. If you hear flapping from the rubber blades, that's also a clue.

Traditional vs. Beam Windshield Wiper Blades

Have you ever considered the difference between traditional wiper blades that are flat or being wiper blades that are bowed, which are called beam wipers? Your windshield isn't flat, it has an arc to it, so beam blades have better coverage because of their shape.
