When Do You Need To Change Your Wipers?

In any case, if you notice your windshield wipers just aren’t working like they’re supposed to, you can always schedule a service appointment with our team and we’ll help you address the issue. Otherwise, if you notice any of the following with your windshield wiper blades, it may be time to replace them:

• Wiper blades falling apart
• Scratches on your windshield
• Screeching noise when wiper blades are in use
• Cracked rubber on wiper blades
• Ineffective wiper blades

How To Change Your Windshield Wipers – Step by Step Guide

Before you decide it’s time to visit our Saint Cloud parts center to get some new wiper blades, you can always try to clean them first. On most vehicles, you can simply run your finger carefully along the windshield wiper blade and feel if there’s any dirt or debris.

You can always try wiping the dirt or debris off your windshield wiper blades first before replacing them. However, if cleaning them doesn’t make them any more effective, it’s time to change them. Here’s how to change the windshield wipers on your vehicle:

1. Your owner’s manual should detail how to put your windshield wipers in the service position.
2. Carefully remove the wiper blades from the wiper arm. This process can vary depending on your specific model.
3. This step is optional but we suggest cleaning your windshield to allow your windshield wipers to work properly.
