Just like many other parts of your vehicle, wipers can wear out. Over time, the rubber on the wipers will deteriorate and rub off due to exposure to the sun, the air and from normal usage.

A working car battery is vital in order to start a vehicle. Once started, the battery is also needed to store energy created by the alternator. The energy can be used to power various electrical components with the engine turned off. However, batteries have a limited lifespan.
