It feels as if they need to be changed 2 or 3 times a year. Wipers at the auto parts store are around $25 and $8 to $15 at Walmart. Are the Walmart ones just junk or do the expensive ones last longer? Has anyone else had a similar experience with wipers?

Definitely shouldn’t have to replace more than once a year.

I think I replace mine every 3 or 4 years. Probably spend in 14-18 dollar range.

I like a clean windshield. Decent wipers last about 6 months, depending on whether you car is kept in a garage at home and at work.

That said, the best deal I’ve found is Costco—about $5 for each blade. They change brands, but if you replace every 6 months, the brand makes no difference.

I’ve bought “premium” blades, but they don’t seem to last any longer than cheap ones.

Who the fuck changes wipers every 6 months?

Wipers should last years unless you're some kind of dumbass who runs them on full speed even when it is drizzling.

I change my wipers after each use. Pristine windows are huge for me.

The sun is what destroys them. If it looks like a sunny day take them off and leave them in the trunk.

Some are more anal about their wipers than others. It isn't a binary answer when and how often to change.

Me. As soon as they streak.

When a streak shows up on relatively new wiper blades you can usually fix it by cleaning them with rubbing alcohol.

Better yet, coat them in some Copper tone Sport SPF 50.

I have found cleaning them with Rain X works very well. Rubbing Alcohol will dry the rubber out.

I just wait til one of the neighbors gets new blades and then do a 3 AM blade-swap with my old blades for their fresh set.

They streak after a few months because they're dirty. Wipe clean with alcohol. They streak after years because they wear out.
