Windshield wipers should typically be replaced every six months. Your vehicles windshield wiper blades take a beating from Mother Nature, as well as other elements. When wiper blades no longer make proper contact with the windshield surface, they can begin to squeak, chatter, skip, smear or streak reducing driving visibility. Common Wiper ProblemsStreaking occurs when the rubber squeegee dries, hardens and cracks. It can also be caused by tree sap, road tar and other foreign substances collected on either the glass or the blade. Skipping occurs when the blade develops a curvature from lack of use (e.g. left in the ‘parked position’ for an extended length of time). Wearing occurs with extensive use and is when the rubber edges are rounded instead of squared. Splitting is caused when the sun’s ultraviolet rays penetrate the rubber squeegee, causing it to breakdown and separate from the frame. Bent R ... read more

It's a good idea to check your headlights at least once a year. The idea is that your lamps never dim to the point that they become a safety issue. Obviously, a clean windshield is important – so are good wiper blades. Your headlights play a big role as well. There are two main concerns. One is with the headlamp, or bulb.

You can replace the lens, but each lens assembly can ... read more
