Knowing when to change your car’s windscreen wiper blades is key to maintaining clear and safe visibility while driving. Worn-out blades leave streaks, uncleaned areas and can even damage the windscreen. Factors such as frequent use, exposure to weather, and extreme temperature changes speed up their wear. It is advisable to replace them when they show visible signs of deterioration or fail to clean effectively.

When to change your car’s windscreen wiper blades
Visible wear
When the rubber shows cuts, cracks or has hardened, it’s time to replace them to avoid scratching the windscreen.
Poor cleaning performance
If they leave uncleaned areas or water marks, it means they are no longer applying the correct pressure.
Noise or vibrations
Constant squeaking or vibration when passing over the glass indicates that the rubber has lost flexibility.
Regular check-ups
It’s recommended to replace them every 6–12 months depending on climate and use, or sooner if wear is visible.
