Clear Vision, Safer Drive: Burmarrad Group will show you how to take care of your wiper blades

When it comes to safe driving, visibility is everything — and that’s why windshield wiper maintenance tips should be part of every driver’s car care routine. At Burmarrad Group’s After Sales Centre, we know how crucial properly functioning wipers are for keeping your windscreen clear and your journeys safe, especially during Malta’s unpredictable weather.

These small, silent workers are essential for maintaining visibility in rain, dust, and during quick screen washes. At Burmarrad Group’s Automotive After Sales Centre, we’ve seen firsthand how neglected wipers can turn into a safety hazard.

Essential Windshield Wiper Maintenance Tips for Every Driver

1. Clean Them Regularly

Your wipers collect dust, pollen, and grime with every swipe. Wipe the rubber edge with a damp cloth once a week to avoid buildup and prolong their life.

2. Don’t Use the Wipers on a Dry Windshield

Wipers are made to glide on water. Running them dry can cause the rubber to crack and wear prematurely. Always activate your washer fluid first!

3. Check for Cracks or Splits

Inspect your wiper blades every month. If the rubber is cracked, split, or the blade is streaking, it’s time for a change.

4. Replace Every 6–12 Months

Malta’s hot sun and dusty roads wear down rubber quickly. A good rule of thumb: replace your wiper blades at least once a year — or sooner if visibility is compromised.

5. Listen to the Signs

Chattering, skipping, or squeaking? That’s your car telling you it’s time for new wipers.
