Get Ready for National Check Your Wipers Day

National Check Your Wipers Day is November 16th, and our Subaru parts team can help you replace your wipers if necessary. Mark the occasion by checking that your wipers work as intended, aren’t damaged, and don’t need to be switched out. Find out more about your wipers and what to look for with the experts at Casey Subaru.

Checking Wiper Performance

Unless it’s been raining recently, you may not know if your wipers are clearing your windshield effectively. That’s why it’s important to check that your wipers are properly gliding along the glass and aren’t getting stuck or stuttering while in motion. You should also make sure that the wipers aren’t leaving any streaks or failing to capture any liquid on the glass.

Inspecting Your Wipers for Damage

We also recommend inspecting your wipers for any physical damage that might prevent them from working correctly. If your wiper blades or holders are broken or damaged, they may become loose when in operation. Check the rubber for any cracking or tears, or any other signs that the blades are deteriorating.

Ordering New Wipers

It’s a good idea to replace your wiper blades every six to 12 months, which is why yearly inspections are recommended by auto experts. The rubber in your wipers will wear down naturally over time, especially if you use the wipers a lot. You can order new blades directly from our dealership, so you know your replacement blades will fit perfectly.
