What are the warning signs that a blade is worn out? What climates and/or conditions tend to shorten blade life?
Rubber is the most important part of your wiper blades and the sun’s ultraviolet rays, automatic car washes and extended periods of non-use can all take their toll wiper blade life. The most common warning signs to look for signaling time for replacement include dry, cracked or split rubber or damage to the wiper arm assembly (bent or broken metal) which can result in streaking, chatter or scratching of the windshield.
