Keeping your view clear during every rain shower, foggy morning,
and even snow day, your windshield wiper blades do an awful lot to keep you
safe while on the road. While they have a simple design and sweeping motion,
there’s a lot more than meets the eye with this essential Clermont Toyota part.
If you’re starting to see streaks in your windshield view, it might be time to
replace your old wiper blades. Before you decide on a pair, it helps to know
what to look for and the type you should choose next to get the best view
possible from the driver’s seat. That’s why Toyota of Clermont is here with an
easy guide, so you can get the best windshield wipers possible when it comes
time to replace them!
Windshield wiper blade types
Like other auto parts, you have several options when it
comes to selecting your next type of wiper blades. To get you up to speed, here
are a few different types to choose from for your Clermont Toyota vehicle:
Traditional frame-style
This is the most common type of windshield wiper blade that
you’ll find on Clermont Toyota vehicles. This wiper blade uses a metal frame design
and the blade is mounted on that. It’s relatively inexpensive and provides decent
performance.
Winter wipers
These blades are more resistant and durable, but they do come
with a bulkier design. You likely won’t find them on many Clermont Toyota vehicles
because they’re meant to remove snow and ice from the windshield.
Premium beam style
Borrowing designs from winter wipers with the slim design of
the traditional frame-style, premium beam style blades use a single blade,
one-piece design. They contour to the shape of the windshield for better
performance, but they do come at a higher price tag than other Clermont windshield
wiper blades.
Choosing and installing your windshield wiper blades
After you’ve chosen the type of windshield wiper blade for
your vehicle, you need to take into the account the sizes you need for your particular
Clermont Toyota vehicle. There are also several different brands you can choose
from and each will offer different benefits. To find the right size for your
car, ask one of our expert auto service techs or consult your owner’s manual
for more information.
Once you find the right pair for your vehicle, our Toyota of
Clermont auto service techs would be happy to install your windshield wiper blades
