How to Change Your Windshield Wipers

Generally, windshield wipers are supposed to last Astoria drivers up to six to twelve months, but the rubber blades can wear down quickly if ther are exposed to snow, ice, rain, salt, or high temperatures. If you find that your windshield wipers are no longer adequate for Manhattan drives, then you will want to visit us at Major World Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to learn more or to schedule an appointment to get a replacement. We have OEM windshields and wipers via our parts center as well so that you will get the best fit in terms of replacements. Here are potential reasons why your windshield wipers might need a change: 

• Cracked Rubber
• Separated Blades
• Screeching Noise
• Gaps in Windshield Clearing
• Scratches to Windshield Glass
• Loose chunks of blade

How to Clean Windshield Wipers?

Pull-up your windshield wiper blades and run your finger across it. Wash it off if you feel any dirt or debris on your vehicle. If you notice that any pieces of the blade are missing then you should get them replaced as soon as possible. 

How Much Does it Cost to Get Your Windshield Wipers Replaced?
