There are plenty of major services that your Honda needs throughout your driving experience. There’s the important and semi-frequent oil change, tire rotation, part replacements, and even high mileage service. While all of these services are crucial to its overall performance, minor services are needed for your ease and peace of mind.
These services include the Honda windshield wiper change. Your windshield wipers are crucial for when you’re tackling the roads around the La Puente, El Monte, and City of Industry, areas, when the rain comes through. They help clear off the windshield no matter the rain’s heaviness so you can see the road clearly.
If you need a Honda windshield wiper replacement, you can always schedule service—or perform this service yourself! At our West Covina service center, we’re here to help you learn more!
Generally, you’ll want to replace your wiper blades roughly every sixth months, despite the dryness of the season. This is because the blade’s main component is made of rubber, which can break down at varying temperatures. Of course, standard rain will also cause the blades to wear down because they drag across your windshield.
But other signs indicate it’s time to replace your blades. Look out for:
While you can easily schedule service to have your windshield wipers replaced, if you’re the type of driver that likes to handle things on your own, it’s a pretty simple process. Of course, you’ll need to get Honda OEM replacement wiper blades to perform the process, which can easily be ordered from our parts center.
Once you have the blades, you’ll start by taking your old ones off. Extend the blades from your windshield and unlock the clasps to remove them. Wait until they’re perpendicular, then release each latch, and physically unhook both blades from the arms.
Take your new wipers and line them up together with your old ones to make sure they’re the same size. You’ll then unlock the latches on both new blades, and carefully slide them through each hook. Make sure that they lock. Once they’re both locked, you can close the latches and guide the arms back to your windshield. To be sure they’re secured properly, turn your vehicle on and activate your wiper fluid.
Now that you know how easy it is to replace your wiper blades, you can easily get started by shopping for the parts you need with us. Of course, you can always schedule this service so our technicians can make sure that your new wipers are properly secured to your vehicle.
