How often should OEM wiper blades be replaced?
1 Answers
OEM wiper blades are generally replaced every 1 to 2 years. If the wipers fail to clean properly or produce abnormal noises, replacement is recommended. For wipers that don't clean effectively, fine sandpaper can be used to resurface them. If cleaning performance remains unsatisfactory, this indicates either severe wear or that the blades have reached their service life, and they should be replaced promptly. Wiper blades, also known as windscreen wipers or windshield wipers, are devices designed to remove rain and debris from a vehicle's windshield, thereby improving driver visibility and enhancing road safety. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs are also equipped with wipers. Beyond automobiles, other transportation vehicles such as trains and trams are also fitted with wiper systems.
