Owning a car is a big responsibility and it's important to replace parts when they aren't working properly. Some drivers hesitate to replace parts like wiper blades, or light bulbs, but it is very important not to ignore these smaller issues. It is important that all the parts of your vehicle are operating correctly. Today we're going to help you know when it's time to replace your rear wiper blade(s) and where you can find replacements in the San Antonio area.

How often does a rear wiper blade need to be replaced?

Wiper blades don't always get the credit they deserve. They are a small part of your vehicle, but they are vital for keeping your vision clear. You might not realize just how important these blades are until they aren't working properly. Rear wipers in particular are overlooked, but they are important for vehicles with large back windows. They help keep the back window clear so you can be aware of your surroundings.

The lifespan of a windshield wiper can vary, but most last six to twelve months. This depends on weather conditions and what the blades are made of. Rubber blades have the shortest lifepan, while silicone blades last the longest. You will know your wiper blade needs to be replaced if they start making a squeaking or chattering noise, or you can see streaks where the blade isn't connecting with the window. Many drivers feel like they can put off this type of repair, but it you let it go long enough, the broken wiper can actually cause damage to your windshield, which would be even more expensive to fix.
