, just ask your dealer next time you go in for an oil change.

On a DD they should be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on climate. Not sure about weekend toy. If it sits outside UV can help to break them down.

I was about to say... i dont think we hardly use our wipers lol. But yes the heat can get to them. Replace them, then cover it with a car cover or park under a car port if possible. May help lengthen the life of the wipers.

Mine have 12k miles and are starting to streak and miss spots. The first time they were ever used was in april so they lasted about 7 months. Been on the car for 11 from factory.

Wipe them off with a wet rag and I think you'll find they are much better....filth slime muck builds up on them.
