With spring showers hopefully on the horizon, it's essential to ensure your windshield wipers are in the best condition for clear visibility in any weather. Follow our checklist below to prepare your wipers for rain or shine.
1. Inspect the Blades:
Check the condition of your wiper blades for signs of wear, such as cracks, tears, or stiffness. Worn-out blades can leave streaks and poor visibility, compromising your safety on the road. If the blades show signs of damage, replace them right away to make sure you don't get stuck with bad blades.
2. Clean the Windshield:
Remove dirt, debris, and residue from your windshield to prevent streaking and smudging when using the wipers. Use a glass cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth to wipe off the windshield thoroughly, paying attention to areas around the wiper blade path.
3. Test for Effectiveness:
Turn on your windshield wipers and washer fluid to test their effectiveness. Ensure the wipers move smoothly and cover the entire windshield without chattering or leaving streaks. If the wipers are not doing their job, check for issues or misalignment and make any necessary adjustments. If you need assistance with this, our team is here to help make sure everything is aligned properly.
4. Replace Washer Fluid:
Ensure your washer fluid reservoir is filled with quality windshield washer fluid designed for spring and summer conditions. Check the fluid level regularly and top it up as needed to keep your windshield clean and clear.
