Maintaining our car is essential, even if we do not fully control the deadlines. Normally, we always look at the pressure in our tires or the condition of our windows, but we rarely pay attention to the care that the windshield wipers need, the cleaning mechanism that affects the windshield and the rear window.
For those clueless drivers, who do not know the deadlines or the care they require, the Civil Guard reminds that the windshield wipers begin to deteriorate after “six months.”
Also, remember that it is “recommended to replace them every year.” “Don’t wait to be left blind in the next storm,” the body writes in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Despite being one of the elements to which we pay the least attention, the authorities never tire of repeating that its maintenance is essential, because it allows us to keep away rain or snow, thus ensuring good vision behind the wheel.
From the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), they explain that changes in temperature and pollution can damage the rubber, with consequent fingerprints or damage to the glass if we use them.
There are several signs that indicate that it is time to change the windshield wiper blades, reminds the DGT: sudden noises and jumps when it is started.
