Why Windshield Wipers Matter for Clear Visibility

Wiper blades that skip, smear, squeak, or leave lines are no longer clearing the windshield effectively. Dirt and damaged rubber can also create fine scratches over time.

Clean the blades and glass regularly, replace worn blades, and never run dry wipers over a dusty windshield. If the windshield is already pitted or scratched, glare may remain even after the blades are replaced.

Good wipers cannot repair damaged glass, but they can help preserve visibility and make it easier to spot new chips early.
