Windshield Wipers (1).pngDrivers typically don’t think about their windshield wipers until they need them. So, it’s important to keep a close eye on yours to make sure they’re ready when you do. If you notice any of these signs, consider replacing your wiper blades with genuine Alfa Romeo parts from Helfman Alfa Romeo.

They Leave Streaks

When you use your windshield wipers, do they completely clear the windshield or leave streaks behind? Is there a grime on your windshield that won’t seem to go away no matter how much you try to clean it? These are usually signs that your windshield wiper blades need to be cleaned, or it may be time to replace them. 

They Are Squeaky

When it rains, your windshield wiper blades should move smoothly across your windshield with fairly little noise at all. If you notice that they squeak excessively or it sounds like plastic is being pulled across your windshield, that means that it’s time for a new pair.

The Rubber is Cracked or Splitting

It’s important to routinely give your windshield wipers a quick inspection, particularly if you haven’t used them in a while. It’s especially important to take a close look at the rubber. It should be one solid piece, but if you see cracks or splits, they’ve become too worn.

They’ve Become Too Old

To ensure they are efficient, your windshield wiper blades should be replaced routinely, even if they seem to be working fine. As a general rule of thumb, your blades should be replaced every year, or even every six months in some cases.
