Signs Of Bad Windshield Wiper Blades
Windshield wiper blades are not something you think of every time you drive your vehicle. It’s when rain starts pouring down, and snow and ice are covering your car, that’s when you think about what condition your wiper blades are in.
Although wiper blades aren’t used every time you drive your vehicle, they are experiencing wear and tear during that time. Wiper blades are made of rubber, which breaks down from the hot sun, cold conditions, salt, and of course regular usage.
The following are signs you may need to replace your windshield wiper blades.
- Sounds To Listen For:
- Repeated thumping
- Whacking
- Screeching
- Visual & Tactile Signs To Look For On The Wiper Blades:

It’s important to check the rear wiper blades as well, an improperly-working rear blade can be a safety hazard for safely backing up.
