The average lifespan of the windshield wipers on your car is roughly 18 months. It is always a good idea to take care of this preventative maintenance before you need it, especially due to our harsh African weather.High temperatures during summer and near freezing in winter will deteriorate the rubber of the wipers, and they will stop working correctly.
