In fact, wiper replacement consistently runs four or five times longer than the recommended interval of six months. As a result, millions of drivers are operating their passenger cars, vans, SUVs and light trucks with reduced driving vision. It doesn't have to be that way. A periodic one-minute inspection of your wipers each month will ensure that you're ready for the next storm, blizzard or muddy road. The experts at ANCO, the clearest choice in wiper blades, recommend a quick visual inspection of the rubber-wiping element on each blade.
Some wipers also are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet rays, pollutants and chemicals.
Typically, these wipers lose elasticity and strength, preventing unbroken contact with the windshield. If your wipers show signs of hardening, it's time for replacement. Of course, wipers eventually need to be replaced. ANCO recommends changing your wiper blades every 6,000 miles, which translates to every six months for the typical driver. If your brakes are screaming for attention, then your next stop should be with a certified automotive technician for a check up.
