How to Determine When to Replace Windshield Wipers?

[DeElaina]

Methods to determine when to replace windshield wipers include: 1. Visible damage: If there is cracking, fissures, aging, rust, deformation, attachments, or discoloration, the wiper blades should be promptly replaced; 2. Audible damage: If the rubber strip has detached from the frame, causing the wiper to slap against the windshield with abnormal sounds like jumping or shaking during each swipe, it's time to replace the wiper blades. Windshield wipers are blade-like structures installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Their primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the driver's view.
