How Are My Windshield Wiper Blades Replaced?

Replacing your windshield wiper blades consist of very few and simple steps. Our master technicians at Ram Country Del Rio will first identify what type of wiper blades your vehicle requires. This information is also in your vehicle's owner's manual if you decide to purchase the windshield wiper blades before coming in to get them properly placed. Once our technicians retrieve the correct wiper blades, they will lift the worn wiper off of the windshield, make sure the blade is protruding out from the wiper arm, and press on the release tab to remove it. At this point, the old wiper blade should glide right off and the new one right on.

How Will I Know to Get New Wiper Blades?

Looking out for indications of needing new windshield wiper blades is an easy task to keep up with. When you switch on your wipers, and either of them starts clicking or leaving streaks throughout their span on the windshield - it's a surefire sign. This happens because the rubber the wiper blades are made out of is beginning to wear thin, therefore not doing their job correctly. Before you turn over your car for new blades, go through a car wash and see if that makes a difference. If not, then you know it is time to bring your vehicle in for a wiper replacement. A few other indicator signs to be aware of are fractures, uneven borders, and missing pieces in your wiper blade. They all necessitate the same required service.

What Is the Longevity of Windshield Wiper Blades?

Regardless, with our certified service and geniune Mopar parts, your Ram, Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, and/or Dodge is in good hands when you've received a wiper blade replacement from us.
