When should I replace my windshield wipers?<\/h2>\n

Most of the new cars, trucks and SUVs available from the brands sold by Billion Auto Group<\/a> come with advanced safety features to help keep drivers and passengers safe. There is no doubt these are great and much-needed innovations. However, the most effective safety system is still an alert driver with an unobstructed view of the road around them. In order to get the best view outside the vehicle, the\u00a0windshield\u00a0needs to be kept free of dirt and debris. This means knowing when one should replace their windshield wipers. If you’re curious if\u00a0it’s\u00a0time for a new set of blades, Billion Auto Group is here to show you what to look out for.<\/p>\n

When it starts raining or your car gets splashed with dirty water<\/a> that is kicked up by a passing vehicle, the first time most of us will do is to turn on the windshield wipers. If they are in good conditions, the wipers should make short work of the dirt that will accumulate on the glass. But if turning on the windshield\u00a0wipers actually makes things worse, it’s time to pick up a set of replacement blades.<\/p>\n

You should replace your windshield wipers if you see skipping, streaking, splitting or hear squeaking. All of these outcomes\u00a0mean\u00a0that\u00a0your\u00a0outside view will be obstructed to one degree or another.<\/p>\n

Windshield wiper blades will naturally decay or deteriorate over time because of several factors including being exposed to sunlight, oil and many other contaminants.<\/p>\n

\n

Signs you should get new wiper blades<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • The blade is detached from the arm<\/li>\n
  • Joints are corroded and not free moving<\/li>\n
  • There are visible cracks or tears in the rubber<\/li>\n
  • The rubber blade doesn’t always contact the glass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

      • Don’t try to scrape off ice with the wipers<\/li>\n
