Four Signs You Need New Windshield Wiper Blades

Many of the Nissan parts in your vehicle will wear down over time, and that includes your windshield wiper blades. These parts help keep you safe in bad weather, so look out for these signs it’s time to get new wiper blades from Zeigler Nissan of Gurnee.

Streaks on the Windshield

This is one telltale sign that your wiper blades are getting old. Your windshield wipers should make your field of vision as clear as possible, but older ones can leave behind streaks that make it harder to see to see the road.

This is dangerous, so get new wiper blades as soon as you can.

Bad Visibility in Inclement Weather

Even if your wipers aren’t leaving behind streaks, it might still be difficult to see when the weather outside is bad. Big rainstorms and snowy weather can both result in bad visibility, and your wipers are supposed to help alleviate that. If it seems like the windshield wipers aren’t helping at all, the blades may be past their prime.

Loud Noises When Wipers Are in Use

The rubber on your windshield wiper blades wears down over time. When this happens, instead of smoothly gliding across your windshield, your windshield wipers end up dragging and making all sorts of obnoxious noises as you try to clear up your field of vision. We probably won’t have to twist your arm to get you to buy replacement wiper blades at that point.

Obvious Signs of Damage

If you look at your wiper blades and notice that the rubber is cracked and breaking, you should probably think about replacing them.
