Many car owners wait until their windshield wipers are completely ineffective before replacing them, but by then, it may have already compromised driving safety. In fact, as long as these four signs appear, it indicates that the windshield wipers need to be replaced:
1. Obvious water marks/stripes remain after wiping
After being wiped by a normal windshield wiper, the glass should form a uniform water film (with no visible water marks); if streaks, spots of residue, or "missed areas" appear, it indicates that the rubber strip has aged, the edges are worn, and it cannot fit tightly against the glass.
2. "Abnormal noise" during work
If the windshield wipers make "squeaking" or "clicking" noises when swinging, it may be due to hardened rubber strips (loss of elasticity) or uneven pressure caused by deformed frames - this can wear down the glass surface over time, increasing replacement costs.
3. Visible damage to the rubber strip
Observe the wiper blade rubber strip: If there are cracks, gaps, deformations (such as curled edges), or detachment of the rubber strip from the frame, even if it can temporarily wipe water, it will quickly fail. It is recommended to replace it immediately.
4. Usage duration exceeding 6-12 months
Even if there are no apparent issues with the appearance, the wiper rubber strip will naturally age due to exposure to sunlight, rain, and high temperatures (radiation from the engine compartment). It is recommended that ordinary household cars be inspected every 6 months, and replaced every 12 months; for vehicles that are frequently parked outdoors, the replacement cycle should be shortened to 8-10 months.
