Why You Should Install Winter Wiper Blades Each Year

When you are in the middle of a winter storm, there is nothing worse than turning on your windshield wipers to only have them fail. This, unfortunately, happens to many people every year. This can, however, be avoided if you know what to do. Here at Barbour-Hendrick Honda Greenville, we want you to be prepared this winter and make sure this doesn’t happen to you. To prevent this from occurring, all you have to do is make sure to replace your standard wiper blades with winter wiper blades. Now you may be saying, "like that is going to work," but there are some major differences between the two that make all the difference in winter weather driving conditions.

• Winter wiper blades do not bend or break from the heavy weight of snow or ice.
• Winter wiper blades have a protective covering that prevents their framework mechanisms from becoming clogged with ice.
• Winter wiper blades stay flexible in freezing weather conditions, unlike standard wiper blades.

These are just a few of the differences between the two and just some of the reasons why you should always be sure to change your blades to winter wiper blades before winter weather attacks!
