Are Your Wiper Blades Ready for Spring Showers?

We’ve had a lot of moisture this past winter, and so your windshield wipers were probably used a lot!  It’s a good idea to check them periodically to make sure they are still in good working order for the upcoming spring rain.  Watch for streaks, or patches the blades seem to miss completely.  Listen for scraping or clattering noises, especially when there is plenty of moisture on the windshield.  When you take your car in for a wash, check the blades, and make sure they are clean too.  Wipe them down with a clean rag, and look for nicks or cracks.  Also, be sure to check your windshield wiper fluid, and top it off.  Windshield wiper blades are usually pretty easy to install, but if you need some help, stop by Jake’s we’d love to help out.  Also, be sure to see the Rain-X Windshield Wiper Special that’s running this month on wiper blades!
