Windshield Wipers help drivers a lot especially in ensuring their safety. But wipers also get brittle, fray, and will not be as efficient after some time, and will soon need to be replaced.

The website GK Polishing gave drivers a guide on how to know if the wipers’ blades are already due for replacement. AutoGlass Safety Council        

“Using windshield wipers that are damaged or worn not only can be dangerous for driving in poor weather, it can also cause considerable damage to your windshield. While new windshield wipers only cost about $20, repairing chips or scratches on your windshield cost considerably more. Not only will replacing your windshield wiper blades help keep you safe, it will also help to keep your car in top condition.”

“If you purchased an entire wiper set, they should have come with detailed instructions for installation. If you purchased just the blade portion and have never replaced wipers before, you may want to have a technician guide you through the installation.”
