Replace Wiper Blades for
Safety
Are you tired of smearing, screeching and chattering wiper
blades? Do you dread another rainy drive without the benefit of an
unobstructed view of the road? Buy a set of wiper blades and install
them yourself. It takes only a few minutes, and simple instructions
are right on the box.
Before you begin, here are two suggestions:
- You can make the wiper blade more accessible by stopping it in
the most convenient location with the ignition key. Don’t use the
wiper on-off switch, as it causes the wipers to stop in their
parked position.
- Look for replacement rubber squeegees to avoid the cost of
buying the entire blade and holder. They’re usually easily
installed and can restore wiping action, as long as the rest of
the components are OK.
15 percent of the vehicles passing through check lanes
during National Car Care Month failed because of worn windshield
wiper blades. The normal life expectancy of the rubber squeegee is
six to 12 months. That’s reason enough to learn to do it
yourself.
