There are many safety features on your car that you need to stay safe, and all of the work in tandem to help you keep you and your loved ones protected. However, one of the less-talked-about safety features is the windshield wipers, which provide protection from precipitation blocking your visibility. Your windshield wiper blades are vital for you seeing the road, which is why we provide certified windshield wiper replacement services at our service center at Ray Skillman Northeast Kia.
While the official recommendation is to change the windshield wiper blades once every six months, you can tell when it’s time to replace them. A simple visual inspection will show any cracks or chips in the specialized rubber, and running the blades with water on the windshield can show you where your windshield wiper blades are failing. You may notice pooling or streaking, or you may hear a thudding or vibration as they move, all of which point to you needing new windshield wiper blades.
It may be tempting to wait as long as possible to replace your windshield wiper blades, but they truly are a safety feature. As you drive, you need to see and windshield wiper blades stop you from losing your visibility in hard weather. If you are driving on the highway at 65 miles per hour, you’re traveling almost 100 feet per second. Even one second of impaired visibility can have you moving over 100 feet without seeing, and a lot can change in 100 feet of road.
Your windshield wiper blades are attached to your windshield via a plastic wiper, which then clips onto the windshield wiper connected to the car. When we replace your windshield wiper blades, we unclip the old blades and remove them from the connected wiper heads, and then we clip in the new windshield wipers and make sure they’re in the right place. Then we test the wiper system to make sure that the blade is making good contact with the glass, and then the car comes back to you.
