Wiper Blades
When do wiper blades need to be replaced?
When your blades are leaving lines and streaks on the windshield, it
is time for replacement. Because of the deteriorating effects of
sunlight, ozone and oxidation on rubber, most blades last from six to
twelve months. In addition, as windshields age they become pitted due to
road dirt and sand and this causes the wiper blades to wear faster.
Grease Monkey technicians visually inspect your blades looking for
uneven spots and tears. Because they cannot always tell by looking, you
will be asked if your wipers are streaking. Should your wipers need
replacement, you will be advised of the cost. They can be installed
quickly and you'll be prepared the next time Mother Nature opens the
sky!
Why are properly functioning wiper blades
important?
Good wiper blades are a key safety element for the driver's ability
to operate the vehicle in all types of weather conditions. Clear
visibility is important and it reduces eye strain and eliminates the
annoyance of a streaked windshield.
When are winter wiper blades important?
If you live in snow country, you know how ice and snow can build up
on your wiper blades. Winter blades are wrapped with a rubber cover that
prevents the moving parts of the blade from freezing, which allows the
entire blade to conform to the windshield. All moisture can then be
wiped away, thereby improving visibility.
