Now, that leaves you 6 months of wiggle room to determine when the best time is to replace the blades. Thankfully, there are some tell-tale signs that can tell you when your wiper blades need replacing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there a tear in the rubber part of the wiper blades?<\/li>\n<li>Are the wiper blades squeaking or scraping when you turn them on?<\/li>\n<li>Are the blades leaving smears across your windshield?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you answered \u2018yes\u2019 to any of these questions, you may want to take a look into getting new wiper blades. In order to determine which size blades you need, you\u2019ll need to know the make, model, and year of your car. Or, you can find it in the driver\u2019s manual of your car. Of course, you can always contact your local service team who can change them for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/blog\/can-i-still-drive-with-broken-faulty-transmission\/\">Can I still drive with a broken or faulty transmission?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Where can I find vehicle service near Gilbert, AZ?<\/h3>\n<p>Come on over to Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead to find a friendly team that can get your vehicle back in working condition.
