Windshield Wiper Blade Deterioration: Why You Need Regular Replacements

Over time, the rubber components of your windshield wiper blades can deteriorate due to oxidation and prolonged sun exposure, causing them to become dry, brittle, and ineffective. The constant friction against the glass surface contributes to wear and tear, leading to streaks, blurry spots, and reduced driving visibility—all of which can compromise safety.

For optimal visibility and safe driving, it's recommended to replace your wiper blades every six months or immediately if you notice a decrease in windshield clarity. When your wiper blades no longer make proper contact with the glass, they can start to squeak, skip, chatter, or smear, significantly reducing visibility in rain or snow.

Several environmental factors contribute to the deterioration of your wiper blades, including sun exposure, airborne debris, moisture, and oil from car waxes and exhaust. Regular wiper blade maintenance and timely wiper blade replacement are essential to ensure clear visibility and a safe driving experience in all weather conditions.

How to change your wipers.

What to look for:

Broken frame
Metal Corrosion
Visible cracks, tears, or missing pieces in the rubber.
Flex rubber squeegee back and forth to see if it is still flexible. Old squeegees will have difficulty conforming to the shape of your windshield and will cause streaks.
Check squeegee wiping edge for rounded edges which can prevent the wiper blade from making strong contact with the windshield and reduces wipe quality.
Tug to ensure the wiper blade has been securely installed on the wiper arm.
Check that squeegee is secure in the wiper frame.

Types of Windshield Wiper Blades

Standard Windshield Wiper Blades

Conventional wiper blades are the most traditional and widely used type of wiper blades. These blades feature a metal frame and a rubber blade designed to distribute pressure evenly across your windshield. Affordable, reliable, and easy to install, conventional blades are a popular choice for many drivers. However, due to their straight design, they typically offer only 4-8 pressure points on the windshield, which can lead to inefficient wiping. More pressure points provide a more complete windshield cleaning, enhancing driving visibility and safety.

Beam Wiper Blades (Flat Wiper Blades)

Beam wiper blades (also called flat wiper blades) are designed for modern vehicles. Unlike conventional wiper blades, beam blades have no metal frame. Instead, they feature a solid, flexible rubber blade that contours to the curvature of your windshield, offering infinite pressure points for a more thorough and effective windshield wipe. Beam wiper blades are generally more durable and weather-resistant compared to conventional blades, making them ideal for drivers in areas with heavy rain, snow, or extreme weather conditions. While beam blades tend to be more expensive, their superior performance and long-lasting durability make them a top choice for many.

Hybrid Wiper Blades

Hybrid windshield wiper blades combine the benefits of both conventional and beam blades. These blades feature a metal frame like conventional blades but incorporate the flexible contoured design of beam blades. This design results in all-weather performance, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced durability. Hybrid wiper blades are a popular choice for drivers seeking a balance between affordability and performance. They offer better coverage than conventional blades and are generally priced between beam blades and conventional blades, providing great value for your money.

Wiper blade issues like a broken frame, metal corrosion, or visible cracks and tears in the rubber can seriously affect your driving visibility. To check if your wiper blades need replacing, test the flexible rubber squeegee by moving it back and forth—old wiper blades often struggle to conform to the shape of the windshield and leave streaks behind.

Inspect the squeegee wiping edge for rounded edges that may prevent proper contact with the windshield, reducing wipe quality. Make sure to tug on the wiper blade to ensure it’s securely installed on the wiper arm. Lastly, verify that the squeegee is firmly seated in the wiper frame for optimal performance and clear visibility while driving.
