Wiper cover
We use a pool noodle. Just slit it down the side and slide it over your wiper. Not beautiful but $1 at the Dollar Store and works great.

I use pool noodles as well. They seem to do the trick.

Pipe insulation material works great. It's already split down the middle so all you need to do is slide it on.

What about covers and lifting them off the windshield (sprung out) for long periods of storage? Thanks, and keep up the great posts and advice!

I use the 3/4" pipe wrap found at hardware stores. Already slit down the side just cut to length of wiper and slide it on. Works great year round.

pool noodles. Cut to size. Slice them lengthwise. Slip them over your wipers when stationary at home or at park. I’m seeing more and more people use this method. Do not drive with them on.

Many folks take the $3.00 pool noodles, cut them to size and slit them down the middle so they can slide them over the wipers to protect them. Cleaning the blades with denatured alcohol on a regular basis not only makes them last longer and allows them to do a better job also.
