Winter Prep. Checklist: wiper-blades

10/15/2015

0 Comments

 

With the days getting shorter, comes cooler weather and a good idea to start preparing your vehicle for winter driving.  Both fall and winter place the driver in seasonal situations where driving with limited daylight are less then ideal for optimal driving conditions.
​
The first place to look at is visibility - the image below is testament to this logic.   There are remnants of used windshield fluid from the wiper-blades and suggests that the rubber portion of the blades are no longer making proper contact with the windshield.

Changing the wiper-blades at this point is a good idea before the onset of frost and eventual snow. If these wiper-blades are left on when the harsher weather arises, both frost and snow will accentuate the water streaks on the windshield and further inhibit visibility.

Purchasing a new set of wiper-blades is as easy as going to your local big box automotive store (e.g. Canadian Tire, Walmart), or if your unsure how to change them, think about an express lube or your mechanic shop. 

Taking preventative measures for safer winter driving in the early part of fall will save you much hassle once weather inhibits driving conditions.
