How do I know when it's time to replace my windshield wipers

[MonroeLynn]

Sure! Here are five different ways to answer that:

[ThaddeusFinley]

"If your wipers are leaving streaks or missing spots when they swipe, it’s probably time to swap them out. Also, if they’re making weird noises or squeaking, that’s a sign they’re past their prime."

[LukaMiddleton]

"Check for any cracks or tears in the rubber. If they look worn out or if they’re not making full contact with the windshield, it’s definitely time for new ones!"

[FrancesSimmons]

"A good rule of thumb is to replace them every six months to a year. But if you notice them struggling during rain or snow, don’t wait that long!"

[AugustHenson]

"If your wipers are more than a year old and you’re noticing that they’re just not clearing the water well anymore, it’s time to get new ones. Safety first, right?"
