Original Ford Wiper Blades

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Difference Between Windshield Wipers and Wiper Blades?

The former refers to the motorized, pivoting metal arms themselves. The latter refers to the slats they drive. Having both makes all the difference between seeing out your front windshield, and not.

What Kinds of Wiper Blades are There?

Three: conventional, beam, and hybrid. Conventional wiper blades, you use every day, during normal drives. They attach to metal frames, and they're usually made of either rubber or silicone, ideal for sweeping away your average obstructions, like rainwater and debris. You replace them every 6 months.

Beam wiper blades, you usually get more mileage out of than the conventional type. They're made of solid rubber, most of the time, and they more closely conform to the contours of windshields. Hybrid wiper blades are similar, except for being more versatile and better able to resist the effects of weather, thanks to their rubber-coated metal frames.

Any of them can have one of three types of connectors, too -- hook, clamp, or pin. Unfortunately, none last forever. You'll have to replace both your front and rear wipers eventually. Luckily, there are symptoms that'll tell you when it's time.

What are the Signs Wiper Blades Need Replacing?

• Cracked rubber
• Streaks left behind after wiping
• Squeaking and/or chattering during use
• Broken frames
• Deteriorating blade adhesive
