28 Dec Why Change Your Windshield Wipers In The Spring?
As spring approaches, it’s essential to prepare your vehicle for the challenges that the season brings. One often overlooked but crucial component is the wiper blades. These seemingly small accessories play a significant role in ensuring your safety on the road during the cold , wetter months. In Taylorsville, Supreme Lube and Oil we want to remind you of their importance.
The Importance of Windshield Wiper Blades in Spring:
Windshield Wiper blades in the spring might be an afterthought for many drivers, but they are your first line of defense against the elements, especially during wet temperature shifting months. The combination of freezing temperatures and precipitation can cause wiper blades to become stiff and less effective. Cracked or worn-out blades may not clear the windshield properly, leading to impaired visibility.
Here are a few steps to keeping your wipers in tip top shape:
-Properly clean or clear the windscreen of snow and, more importantly, ice with a dedicated ice scraper before using the wipers
– Wipers are designed to remove water only. Credit cards or nails are not tools that should be used for ice removal. Prepare ahead. If an ice scraper is not available.
-Using the heat of the defroster on the windscreen is the next best, but when using the wipers after warming the glass still takes a beating on the wipers when sharp stubborn ice is removed with the softer more delicate wiper blade.
Changing your windshield wipers in the spring is important for several other reasons as well.
Removal of Winter Residue: During the winter months, your windshield wipers endure harsh conditions, including snow, ice, and road salt. Over time, this can cause wear and tear on the wiper blades and leave behind residue on the windshield. Changing your wipers in the spring allows you to remove any residue and ensure that your windshield is clean and clear for optimal visibility.
Preparation for Spring Showers: Spring is often characterized by increased rainfall, which can create wet and slippery driving conditions. Worn-out wiper blades may not effectively clear away rainwater, leading to reduced visibility and potentially hazardous driving situations. By replacing your wipers in the spring, you can ensure that they are in top condition to handle spring showers and maintain clear visibility on the road.
Preventative Maintenance: Regular maintenance of your vehicle, including replacing worn windshield wipers, helps prevent more significant issues from developing. Ignoring worn wipers can lead to damage to your windshield or wiper mechanism, ultimately resulting in costly repairs. By proactively changing your wipers in the spring, you can prevent these issues and prolong the life of your windshield and wiper system.
Improved Safety: Clear visibility is essential for safe driving, particularly during adverse weather conditions such as rain. By installing new wiper blades in the spring, you can ensure that you have optimal visibility, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall safety on the road.
In summary, changing your windshield wipers in the spring allows you to remove winter residue, prepare for spring showers, perform preventative maintenance, and improve safety while driving.
