How do worn-out windshield wipers contribute to streaking on a Honda City?

Over time, windshield wiper blades can wear out, leaving streaks and reducing visibility, especially during rain. How often should Honda City owners replace their wiper blades, and what are the signs that indicate its time for a replacement?

Worn-out wiper blades often leave streaks because they can’t maintain proper contact with the windshield. The rubber on the blades degrades over time, causing them to skip over the glass o r smear the water instead of wiping it clean.

Signs its time to replace:
Squeaking o r skipping sounds when wiping.
Water streaks after use.
Blades leaving smudges instead of clearing the glass.

Typically, wiper blades should be replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on weather conditions.
