Winter Prep Tip: Check Your Jaguar’s Wiper Blades Before the Snow Falls
As winter approaches—especially in northern climates—it’s the perfect time to inspect your Jaguar’s wiper blades. Good visibility is essential when driving through rain, sleet, or snow, and worn blades can quickly turn a safe drive into a stressful one.
Take a few minutes to look closely at your wiper blades. If the rubber is dry, cracked, or permanently curved, it’s time to replace them. Even if they haven’t seen heavy use, wiper blades deteriorate over time from UV exposure, ozone, heat, and general environmental contaminants.
You don’t want to discover your wipers are shot the moment you’re splashed with muddy winter slush. Few things are more frustrating—or dangerous—than streaky, chattering wipers on a cold, wet day.
Most Jaguar models require Jaguar-specific wiper blades to ensure proper fit and operation. Aftermarket blades often don’t seat correctly or fail to follow the curve of the windshield, leaving gaps and streaks. For best results, stick with genuine Jaguar wiper blades, available from your Jaguar dealer or trusted Jaguar parts supplier Jagbits.
A quick pre-winter check and replacement now will keep your Jaguar’s windshield clear—and your driving safe—when the weather turns nasty.
