GET MORE LIFE OUT OF YOUR WINDSHIELDWIPER BLADES

When was the last time you replaced your windshield wiper blades? If you’re like most people, you may not remember. As a general rule of thumb, you should replace your wiper blades about once a year, assuming they’ve been through a normal level of wear and tear. However, with a few easy steps, you can make your blades last longer without compromising visibility. • Keep your windshield and wipers clean of debris, dirt, dust, and other particles. Anything on the window or the blades can cause damage. Simply wiping them off with a microfiber cloth can go a long way.

• In cold weather, always clear your windshield of ice and snow before activating your wiper blades. Ice can shorten the life span of most wiper blades significantly. • Every time you gas up your vehicle, take a moment to clean your windshield and the wiper blades. You can run the squeegee sponge over the wiper blade or use a paper towel.

• Watch your washer fluid levels and top it off regularly. When you run a cleaning cycle without washer fluid, the wiper blades deteriorate.

How do you know when it’s time to replace your blades? The first sign is when they start streaking. However, in some cases, streaking may be caused by dirt or other grime stuck to the blades. If they continue to streak or skip after cleaning, they need to be replaced. Thankfully, wiper blades are typically the least expensive and easiest car part to replace. With this in mind, remember that you get what you pay for, and it pays to do research. There are many different blades on the market. Some are suited for icy conditions and some are designed for sunny weather. Take your time to read product descriptions to ensure you install blades that are right for your vehicle.

OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST

Here are a few of the kind words our clients have shared about their experiences with our firm.

“Chris Scott is a miracle-worker. He told me we would probably have to go to a hearing in front of an ALJ in order to get me SSDI insurance. Two weeks later, I was informed that they had made a positive decision in my case. I can only attribute this to Mr. Scott and his staff. “I was considered to be disabled two years prior, so I got Medicare automatically. I’m not sure what they did. But they were awesome to work with. If you need SSD or SSI, you can’t go wrong with this firm.” –Jeff “I’d recommend this law firm to anyone.
