Maintaining optimal visibility while driving is crucial for safety on the road, and your Nissan’s windshield wipers play a significant role in ensuring clear visibility, especially during adverse weather conditions. But how often should you replace your windshield wipers to ensure they’re up to the task? Continue reading below as our team here at Nissan Downtown explores the reasons why it’s essential to regularly inspect and replace your Nissan’s wiper blades.
Why Do I Need to Change My Windshield Wipers?
1. Visibility & Safety
The main function of windshield wipers is to ensure that the driver is able to clearly see the road. Worn out wiper blades may leave streaks and smudges that reduce outward visibility. By failing to regularly replace your Nissan’s wiper blades, you’re risking your safety and the safety of everyone on the road.
2. Deterioration & Windshield Damage
As your Nissan is exposed to the elements, the sun’s rays, road debris and temperature changes all work together to wear down the rubber compounds of your wipers. Worn-out wiper blades, paired with unwanted debris, can scratch or chip your windshield, reducing its structural integrity and making it more susceptible to damage.
How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?
Nissan engineers recommend replacing your windshield wipers every six (6) to twelve (12) months, depending on various factors such as weather conditions, usage frequency, and the quality of your wiper blades. Living in a city like Toronto, with its ever changing weather conditions and fluctuating temperatures, you may need to replace your wipers more frequently to ensure reliable performance.
Why Use Genuine Nissan Wiper Blades?
Quality plays a significant role in determining the lifespan of your wipers. Genuine Nissan wiper blades are made with durable, high quality materials that are designed to last longer and provide better performance than less-expensive aftermarket alternatives. Investing in high-quality Nissan wiper blades may allow you to go longer between replacements and ensure consistent visibility in various weather conditions.
