wiper blades

Rain-clearing car parts

Wiper blades are the rubber strips on a windshield wiper that make contact with the glass, sweeping away rain, snow, and debris.

They wear down over time and need periodic replacement: The wiper blades are streaking—I should get new ones.

Often shortened to wipers: Turn on the wipers.
