Visibility is crucial this time of year with the potential for heavy rain and other inclement weather. Having worn or damaged windshield wiper blades can pose a serious safety risk for you and your passengers. Our safest customers are our happiest customers! We have researched the different types of wiper blades in order to keep you safe while traveling.
There are two main types of blades: Silicone and Rubber. The rubber material has been used for many years and is a good product. However, consumers are starting to move away from traditional rubber blades because they break down faster in more harsh settings. Silicone blades are gaining in popularity and are among some of the highest rated wiper blades available.
When selecting a wiper blade keep in mind that those which are top rated will cost a little more in price than the others. The additional safety you gain from using a top rated blade is a wise investment, and worth the slightly higher price. A few of the most popular brands for wiper blades are Valeo, RainX, Anco, Michelin, PIAA, Bosch, Trico, Armor All, and Jamak. You will also want to keep in mind that finding the correct size is important when making a selection.
As we mentioned earlier we want to make sure you are safe while driving, and if you purchase your wiper blades from our parts department we will gladly help you install them. Visit our service department if you have any questions.
Wiper blades are very important for visibility, but are only part of the solution. In our next article we will be talking about the different types of headlights available, and how they affect driving.
