There are a few different types of windshield wipers.
At O’Reilly Auto Parts, one of our Parts Professionals will help you change your wiper blades on most vehicle makes and models. It’s usually recommended that wiper blades be changed every six months, or sooner if necessary. Some specialty wipers can also be attached for the winter or rainy season. You may also notice that your windshield is difficult to clean, or develops ice clumps in cold, inclement weather. It might be time to change your windshield wipers if you hear scratching sounds, or if you notice skipping wipers or little to no contact between the wiper and the windshield.
