Why Summer is the Right Time to Replace Your Wiper Blades
Did you know wiper blades arguably face their biggest test during the summer months?
You’d be forgiven for thinking the start of wet and rainy weather signals the ideal time to replace your wiper blades… but did you know, wiper blades arguably face their biggest test during the summer months?
Sure, wiper blades are primarily designed to shift water and moisture from your windscreen when it rains and they do this job very, very well.
But water and moisture aren’t the only things that will collate on your windscreen.
Indeed, bugs, dust, grit and general muck will also collect to impact your forward visibility when driving and this type of debris is more likely to occur during the warm, balmy summer months.
Ask yourself this - even when it hasn’t rained for weeks in the summer, how often do you find yourself using your washer fluid and wiper blades to remove the dust and bugs that have accumulated on your windscreen in the meantime?
The answer? More than you perhaps realise…
It is in these moments that this type of grime is most likely to cause damage and wear to your wiper blades, so much so, that when the rainy seasons do arrive, they won’t be as effective for their intended purpose.
Sticky Summer Months
You might notice your windscreen becoming dirty more regularly in the summer months.
This is partly due to the lack of wet weather naturally cleaning your windscreen of dust and debris through rainwater, which helps to keep it pristine even when you’re not using your wiper blades.
In the summer, however, typical grit and dry dust kicked up from cars around you will waft through the air and collect on your windscreen. Then there is the influx of bugs that are prone to meet their maker on your windscreen, as well as sticky sap from trees that melts on your screen if you happen to park close to them.
If you do park near trees, there is also the likelihood of birds relieving themselves right above you too…
