Reasons to Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades

Did you know that windshield wiper blade replacement is also a part of your Volkswagen vehicle’s routine maintenance? Unfortunately, the only time that many people think about their windshield wiper blades is when it’s raining or snowing.

As with every other component on your Volkswagen, windshield wiper blades have a finite lifespan. The wiper blades not only wear down through ordinary use, but natural oxidation caused by direct sun exposure also causes the rubber blades to dry out and crack. The end result is wipers that no longer clear the windshield of rain, slush and debris as effectively as they should.

Consequences of Not Replacing Your Wiper Blades Frequently

Old, worn-out windshield wipers aren’t just an annoying nuisance – they also pose a significant danger. Worn wiper blades leave behind smudges and streaks that make it significantly harder to see through your windshield, especially during torrential rainfall. Worn wiper blades also make it harder to remove bug splatter and other debris.

The worst time to discover your windshield wiper blades are out of commission is when the clouds open up. Our windshield wiper blade replacement service ensures that you’re never caught unawares by streaky wipers.
