Wiper Blades

Wiper blades are an essential component of any vehicle, ensuring clear visibility in adverse weather conditions like rain, snow, and sleet. Typically made from rubber, wiper blades fit snugly against the windscreen and move back and forth to clear away moisture and debris. Over time, these blades can wear down due to exposure to the elements, causing streaks and reducing their effectiveness.

There are various types of wiper blades available, including traditional frame-style blades, beam blades, and hybrid blades. Frame-style blades are the most common, featuring a metal framework that supports the rubber strip. Beam blades, on the other hand, offer a sleeker design with no external frame, providing even pressure along the length of the blade and better performance in winter conditions. Hybrid blades combine elements of both, aiming to offer the durability of a frame blade with the aerodynamic benefits of a beam blade.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of wiper blades are crucial. Signs that you need new wiper blades include streaking, skipping, or squeaking noises during operation. It's recommended to check and replace your wiper blades every six to twelve months to ensure optimal visibility and safety.
