Three Reasons to Replace Your Car’s Wiper Blades 

Windshield wipers are essential in keeping your vehicle’s windshield clean and enhancing your visibility while driving. However, they are not built to last. As a matter of fact, none of your car’s parts are designed to survive the ravages of time. Therefore, it is crucial to get them inspected and, if necessary, replaced. In this blog by Billion Auto Group, we shall discuss the three reasons to replace your car’s wiper blades so that you can make an informed decision regarding bringing your vehicle to our service center in Bozeman, MT. Continue reading and schedule a service appointment if you feel your wipers have started showing any one of these signs.  

Squeaking or Chattering Sound

When damaged, wiper blades tend to make a squealing sound when rubbed against the windshield. This is your first sign of replacing the blades. Therefore, if your wiper blades are making an awful lot of noise, take your car to a service center and get the blades examined at once.  

Bent Frame or Worn-Out Rubber  

Check your wiper blades closely. If you see that the rubber has been damaged or isn’t as smooth as it should be, you must replace the blades. Any irregularity on the surface of the rubber or a bent frame of the windshield wipers suggests that it is time for the old wiper blades to go.  

Season Change  

It is always a great idea to change your car’s wiper blades before winter sets in. Winters are synonymous with severely low temperatures, snow, and ice in many US states. Regular wiper blades wear out faster than the ones meant for winter. That is why you must get wiper blades specifically designed to withstand the harsh temperature of the season.
