What is a winter blade and why would I want one?
When you look at a standard wiper blade frame you can usually see spaces in the frame, especially between the outer frame and the actual wiper blade.
A winter wiper blade is specifically designed for winter driving conditions. The wiper frame is enclosed in a rubber cover, this prevents ice and snow from building up inside the blade housing.
Ice buildup on a standard wiper blade
You can see in the picture how the ice builds up around the frame on a standard wiper.
When this snow builds up it can easily get under your blade and cause streaking or prevent the wiper blade from working at all.
A winter blade cannot prevent ice buildup, but it does make it less likely to happen. When it does happen on a winter blade, it is much easier to clear it out since it is all on a flat rubber surface.
Don’t forge to change your wiper blades
Now that Winter is officially here, it is a good time to change your wiper blades.
Wiper blades are one of those items that you really do not think about until you really need them.
Be pro-active this year and pick a new pair of wiper blades while you are out doing some last minute holiday shopping.
When that winter storm hits, you will be glad you replaced those wiper blades!
Have a great holiday season!
