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

Sure! Here are five different ways to answer that:

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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?"
