While where you live, the weather and road conditions such as salted roads will effect how often you will need to replace your wiper blades; it is best to replace them about once every 12 months. A good idea is to make it part of your usual spring or winter maintenance for your car.

When considering the length of time you have to change the wiper blades on your vehicle you need to think of were you live and how dry or wet it is. Experts give an estimate of six months to a year, but dry weather can make it sooner.

The rule of thumb is if the rain streaks are more than 3" long replace them. In the pacific north west this usually happens two weeks after installation.

Well if you use them a lot then they probably need to be changed once a year. However if the stop clearing the windshield then they should be replaced.
