How to Change Your Windshield Wipers

Windshield wipers typically have a lifespan of 6 to 12 months, as the rubber blades wear out when consistently exposed to snow, ice, rain, salt, and extreme temperatures. If your windshield wipers are no longer in peak condition, it is time for a replacement. Learn how to change windshield wipers in just a few simple steps with the service team at Todd Maserati of Danbury.

You should change wipers if you notice any of the following warning signs:

• Cracked Rubber
• Separated Blades
• Screeching Noise
• Gaps in Windshield Clearing
• Scratches to Windshield Glass
• Loose Chunks of Wiper Blades

How to Clean Windshield Wipers

Before you learn how to change your windshield wipers, you may want to clean them first. This may solve the problem without having to change wipers just yet. Pull up your windshield wiper blades and run your finger across them. If you feel dirt and debris, remove it and test your wipers. If they work as intended, you are ready to get back on the roads of New Milford and Trumbull. If you notice damage, you should change wipers as soon as possible.
