Wiper Blades

Check wiper blades for cracks and tears. 

TIP: Try cleaning your wiper blades with a bit of rubbing alcohol.

Windshield Washer Fluid

Check windshield washer fluid level. Top off if needed. 

Battery Level

Colder temps can cause a weak battery to be even weaker or worse, fail without warning. A typical OE battery lasts about 4 years under normal conditions.
