Windshield Wipers

Your Toyota's windshield wipers are one example of a safety feature built into your vehicle that help to keep your windshield clear. A clean windshield will allow you to see the roadway and maintain visibility so you can drive safer. Wiper blades should be inspected on a regular basis so you can identify if they need replacement. You can feel the texture of the rubber to see if they are too dried out and check for any cracks or rips. If you notice the ends of the wiper blades are peeling, this is a sign they should also be replaced. It's likely they have become too worn out from the sun's UV rays. Another sign to look out for when your wipers are wearing down is the sound of metal-on-glass, which can indicate worn blades. You definitely want to replace wiper blades if you hear scratching, because they can cause permanent damage to your car's glass. Other things to look out for are skipping across the glass or unusual noises. When the time comes to get a new wiper blades, make sure you get ones that were made for your specific car.
