Wiper Blades
Did you know that windshield wiper systems are designed
to wipe 1.5 million times in their lifetime!
Wiper blades are like squeegees. Good
wiper blades wipe the water away without leaving streaks on
the windshield. When wiper blades age, it doesn’t make a
tight seal against the window. This can be caused by nicks
or cracks, road grime build up on the edge of the blade.
Another key to streak-free operation is even pressure over
the length of the rubber blades. If ice or snow form on the
arms of the blades, it can create an uneven pressure,
causing streaks on the windshield. A little life can be
gained out of your wiper blade by wiping the edge with a
cloth soaked in window cleaner until no more dirt come off
the blade.
