Ford Windshield Wiper Blades

If you spend much time on the road, you know how quickly the elements can wreak havoc you’re your visibility. Summer rains, winter storms, dust, sleet, and debris all collect on the windshield glass. Let them sit long, and they combine to make a smeary mess of the mix. Fortunately, that's why your Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury vehicle came with windshield wipers.

The windshield wipers are the two metal arms that arc across your windshield. Their speed can be adjusted to suit the heaviness and frequency of the downpour. Many hatchbacks, vans, SUVs, and crossovers also have one wiper placed at the tailgate glass to help clear that as well. However, the metal wipers could scratch permanent grooves into the glass if they made direct contact. That's why your manufacturer added wiper blades to your wipers at the factory.

How Wiper Blades Work

The wiper blades are those rubberized strips attached to your wipers. They protect the glass -- and the wipers themselves -- by cushioning the contact. By applying the ideal amount of pressure, they clear obstacles away to present you with a clear view of the road ahead.

Eventually, though, your wiper blades can go bad. That's not safe, since you're no longer able to see as fully as you need.
