Why You Shouldn’t Overlook Your Windshield Wipers (Especially After a Windshield Replacement!)

When it comes to car maintenance, windshield wipers don’t always get the spotlight they deserve but they play a clear role in keeping you safe on the road. If you’ve recently had or are looking for a windshield replacement, it’s the perfect time to give your wipers some attention, too. After all, a brand-new, crystal-clear windshield deserves a fresh set of streak-free wipers to match!

Why Windshield Wipers Matter

Your windshield wipers are your first line of defense against rain, snow, dirt, and road grime. Over time, the rubber on your wiper blades wears down, leading to streaks, chatter, or missed spots that can seriously impact visibility. And let’s face it driving with a blurry or smeared windshield is both annoying and unsafe.

How Often Should You Replace Your Windshield Wipers?

A good rule of thumb is to schedule windshield wiper replacement every 6 to 12 months, depending on how often you drive and the weather in your area. Signs it’s time for new blades include:

  • Streaking or smearing on your windshield

  • Squeaking or chattering sounds

  • Cracked or split rubber

  • Uneven wiping or missed areas

But here’s the key: if you’ve just had a windshield replacement or are planning to have a windshield replacement, you should always replace your wipers at the same time. Old, worn blades can scratch or damage your new auto glass, and nobody wants that. Your shiny new windshield deserves fresh, clean wipers that glide smoothly for a spotless view.
