When and How Often Should I Get New Wiper Blades?

Wiper blade manufacturers all agree that you should change your windshield wiper blades every six to 12 months.

You may hear squeaking noises, a vibration or a chattering noise, excessive streaking on the windshield, or wet spots because the blades are not wiping away moisture as they should.

Aftermarket parts are sold as a part that fits most vehicles, and they may not give you the quality and long life, such as OEM Volkswagen wiper blades.

How Can I Make My Wiper Blades Last?

Each time you use your windshield wipers, the hard glass comes into contact with the rubber blades. With each pass across the windshield, a tiny bit of the rubber blades wear off. Heat causes the rubber to expand and cold causes it to shrink, impacting your wiper blades' life. Lack of moisture will cause them to deteriorate quickly and crack. You can extend your wiper blades' life by simply making certain that moisture is on the windshield when you use them. Preferably you should squirt the windshield wiper fluid onto your windshield first and then turn on the wipers. In the case of snow and ice, you can use cool water to melt it before turning on the wipers. Using the windshield wipers on a frozen window makes the blades break down very quickly. They can get so thin that the metal will scratch your windshield. This, in turn, leads to expensive repairs when the wiper motor fails, your windshield needs replacing.
