In regions with challenging climates like Wisconsin winters, windshield wipers are crucial for safe driving.

​

Windshield wipers consist of four parts: blades, arms, arm covers, and cowls. Made of rubber, wiper blades degrade over time, evidenced by streaking, skipping, squeaking, or splitting. Broken blades pose hazards, especially in heavy rain or snow. 

Impaired visibility due to worn wipers can contribute to accidents, making regular inspection and replacement vital. Byrider recommends inspecting and changing wipers every six to twelve months.

​

To extend wiper lifespan, apply rubbing alcohol and ensure a well-lubricated windshield during use. Use a squeegee for debris removal instead of wiper blades. While wiper blades are affordable, prices vary by brand. Byrider offers a range of brands at different price points to suit your needs.
