Even your the windshield wiper bladesare in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder see road signs and traffic signals, to pavement markings,the edge of the road, and even people walking. Road spray can often be worse for if vision than rain, especially it comes from a dirty road. So it is wise to keep your wiping equipment in good shape and keep your windshield washer tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on windshield, or the from when strips of rubber start to separate the inserts.
