How often should Prius owners replace their windshield wipers to prevent streaks?

Every 6–12 months for regular maintenance.
Immediately if they make noise, leave streaks, o r feel rough when wiping.
Before the rainy season, as old wipers may not function effectively.

Regular maintenance: Replace windshield wipers every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and wear.
Immediate replacement: If wipers start making noise, leaving streaks, o r feel rough during operation, they should be replaced immediately.
Pre-rainy season replacement: It’s a good idea to replace wipers before the rainy season, as older wipers may not perform well under heavy rain.
