Wiper Blades Clear the Way
t’s obviously been a very cold and snowy winter for many of us, and one of the worst problems we can have is discovering that a wiper blade is starting to peel away as we’re driving down the Interstate or Expressway. Thanks to the ultraviolet radiation present in sunlight, the rubber in a wiper blade deteriorates and eventually tears when pulled loose from a frozen windshield. The best recommendation for your retail customers is to change wiper blades at least once each year and, if they drive many wintertime miles, to invest in a set of winter wiper blades equipped with rubber boots that prevent the moving parts of the blade from accumulating ice.
