Wiper Blades for Cold Weather and Rain in 2019

Clean windshields are important for visibility and the safety of the driver. Windshield wiper blades keep your windshield clean and free of fog in all seasons. No matter how often you use your car, they wear down after a few uses and must be replaced every 6-12 months. 

When Should Windshield Wipers Be Replaced?

Every time you use the wipers to clean your windshield, the friction damages them a little. After a while, they do not make proper contact with the windshield. The main signs of a damages wiper are

  • Streaks on the windshield
  • Dirty spots on the windshield
  • Cracks in rubber blades of the wipers
  • Vibration in the wipers while sweeping

Having effective windshield wiper blades becomes especially necessary in winters and rainy weather. 

What Should You Know Before Buying Windshield Wiper Blades?

Before you decide to invest in new windshield wipers for your car, you must consider the following factors.

  1. Framework

Common windshield wiper blades have suspensions that attach the wiper arm to the blade. These suspensions are usually hooks or circular gaps. In winter and during the rainy season, these can get filled with water. If water freezes in the suspensions, the wiper blades will be disabled. To avoid cleaning your windshield wipers before every drive, buy wipers with a covered framework that do not have any gaps or suspensions exposed.

  1. Blades

Every wiper model has different kinds of blade blends. The cheapest ones come with rubber blades, but these might not be the best option for your vehicle. Rubber can tear easily and does not have a good grip. Go for wipers that employ a silicone or graphite-based rubber blend to avoid quick wear and tear.

  1. Added Chemicals

Some manufacturers add hydrophobic chemicals to the wiper blades. While in sweeping action, this chemical compound paints a layer on the windshield, prompting larger surface area for water droplets. This makes the sweeping action more effective and leaves little moisture behind. Try to buy wipers that have water-repellent chemicals in their blade blend to ensure a clean windscreen during the rainy season.

  1. Hold on the Windshield

Different windshield wipers have different installation mechanisms and build. The most effective ones will adhere themselves perfectly to your windshield and will most likely be curved. Be careful to buy wipers that have an easy grip onto the frame of your windshield.
