Why Replace?
Generally speaking, wipers are designed to last between 6 months and a year. However, there are a number of factors that will affect the lifespan such as usage, freezing temperatures in winter and extreme heat in the summer, tree sap, fuel particles as well as the actual quality of the blades themselves. As they are a safety-critical element of any vehicle, they should be replaced as soon as their performance starts to diminish.
