Are Worn-Out Wiper Blades the Main Reason for Streaky Windshields in a Toyota Hilux?

Many drivers blame wiper blades for streaks. Have you noticed an improvement after changing your wipers, o r was the issue caused by something else?

Yes, worn-out wiper blades are one of the most common causes of streaky windshields. Signs that your wipers need replacing include:

Skipping o r Chattering Sounds – This indicates that the rubber is no longer making full contact with the glass.
Visible Cracks o r Splits – Worn rubber edges can’t clear water evenly.
Streaking Even After Cleaning – If the windshield remains streaky after using washer fluid, the blades are likely ineffective.

Replacing the wiper blades is a simple and cost-effective solution that improves visibility significantly.
