The windshield wipers must function at the time of need to allow a better visibility of the road. Knowing the common signs such as scratching sounds, deposited ice clumps, peeling-up of the blades and a dirty windshield means that there is a need for replacement of the wipers. Look at the mentioned slideshow for the signs that indicate to replace the windshield wipers.

2. The windshield wipers of
your car should always be
properly working in order
to have good visibility in all
weather conditions.

3. We always neglect these
rubbers and only think,
when not able to see the
road on a foggy day and
instead the rubbing noises
become annoying.

4. So, let us find some of the
common signs that
indicate to get the
windshield wiper
replaced quickly.

5. Hear scratching
sounds

6. As the spongy rubber
blades on the wipers
wear down or tear, you
may hear an annoying
metal-on-glass sound
during each swipe.

7. This situation warrants
an immediate fix to the
windshield wipers in
order to get rid of the
sound.

8. Deposit of ice
clumps

9. When winter winds
drive snow on the
windshield, the melting
slush rolls down the
glass, sticking to the
windshield wipers.

10. In case, the ice chunks
don't break away and
get caught in the rubber
blades after a few
rotations, your wipers
may need to be adjusted
or replaced.

11. Blades start to
peel-up

12. When peering out the
windshield, you notice the
ends of the rubber blades
flapping in the wind
because they're becoming
loose.

13. The sun's UV rays alone
can be enough to
degrade the rubber on
blades, drying them out
and causing them to
crack and peel.

14. No contact between
glass & rubber

15. When you notice the
rubber blades aren't
making contact with the
windshield, the blades
may be worn down or
misaligned.

16. The wiper arms have a
spring that keeps them
in contact with the
windshield and if
needed, the entire arm
may need to be
replaced.

17. Dirty windshields

18. The blades seem to hop
across the windshield, then
add some water repellent to
the windshield to help the
wiper blades glide more
easily, clear away dirt.

19. But after applying a few
squirts of windshield-
washer fluid, you find that
with each pass the wipers
seem to make a mess, then
the windshield wipers need
to be replaced.
