How often have you thought about your car\u2019s wiper blades? You should\u00a0definitely check\u00a0on them and think about switching out to a set of winter wiper blades. It\u2019s hard to push off\u00a0all of\u00a0that snow with weak wipers.<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Need Winter Wiper Blades<\/h2>\n<p>Wiper blades are something you don\u2019t really think about until you need them. There are summer and winter blades, obviously you will get a different performance out of both blades. Summer blades are\u00a0more lightweight and thin. They primarily only worry about rain and cleaning bugs\u00a0off of\u00a0the windshield. These blades also have lattice arms which means there are pivot points in the framework that can get jammed up with ice in the winter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrc-column-grid wrc-column-grid-2\">\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-start\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1689 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/12\/11050822\/carsinfog_b.jpg\" alt=\"Cars driving through fog\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/12\/11050822\/carsinfog_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/12\/11050822\/carsinfog_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1686 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/12\/11050445\/Windshield_b.jpg\" alt=\"Rain-soaked windshield\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/12\/11050445\/Windshield_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/12\/11050445\/Windshield_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .wrc-column-grid --><\/p>\n<p>Winter blades are built a bit more sturdily. They are designed to push snow and keep moving through the ice. The thicker frame also means it won\u2019t get as iced over when compared to summer blades. The wiper part of the blade is also made of a larger, synthetic rubber that helps it stay flexible as the temperatures drop.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/blog\/why-should-you-get-winter-tires-for-your-vehicle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Are Winter Tires Necessary?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Vehicle Service in\u00a0Listowel, ON<\/h2>\n<p>If you think you need a new set of wiper blades before winter really settles in, then come on down to Stop 23 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/schedule-car-maintenance-or-auto-repair-listowel-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schedule an appointment<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/contact-stop-23-in-listowel-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Feel free to give us a call<\/a> if you have any questions and we\u2019ll be happy to help however we can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We talk a lot about how hard winter can be on your car.
