Autumn Weather is Here—Keep Your Wiper Blades in Working Order

Image
Time behind the wheel of a Subaru is more enjoyable when you have a clear view of the road. Knowing how to care for your wiper blades and when to replace them will give you the results you need in a variety of conditions. Windshield wipers wear down with time. If you hear odd noises or see streaks or jerky movements from your wiper blades, debris may be affecting their performance. Start by cleaning the blades with a soft cloth and a mixture of water and mild soap. Lift the wiper blade from the windshield and clear off the rubber with the cloth.

If cleaning doesn't help, or if you notice excessive cracks or tears in the rubber, then you'll need to replace your wipers. For the best results on your vehicle, stick with genuine Subaru wiper blades. Our service professionals can recommend the...

A range of problems can cause it, from a tire failure or mechanical breakdown to running out of fuel. At best, it's an annoyance; at worst, it can compromise your safety.

That's why we recommend that drivers carry certain items in their vehicle, even if it only gets used for everyday, around-town driving. This basic kit can be supplemented with additional items if you go on a long-di...
