When driving in the rain, a clear view of the front is the key to safe driving. The performance of windshield wiper, as a seemingly inconspicuous but crucial accessory on the car, directly affects the driver’s vision and driving safety.
Choose the right type of wipers
Framed wipers are traditional wipers. They rely on metal frames to support the wiper blades. They have a simple structure and are cheap, but they are prone to problems such as unclean wiping and loud noises.
Boneless wipers are a popular type of wipers in recent years. They adopt an integrated design and use materials such as steel sheets or carbon fiber to provide elasticity. They fit more closely to the glass, wipe more cleanly, make less noise, and have a longer service life.
Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual, which usually contains the model and size of your wipers. Use a tape measure to measure the length of the original vehicle wipers. Provide vehicle model information to professional auto parts store staff and recommend suitable wipers.
Pay attention to the performance indicators of wiper
Wiping effect is the most important indicator to measure the performance of windshield wipers. High-quality windshield wipers should be able to quickly and cleanly wipe away rain without leaving any water marks, ensuring that the driver has a clear view.
Silent performance: The noise produced by the wipers when working will affect the driver’s mood and attention. Choosing wipers with good silent performance can bring you a more comfortable driving experience.
Durability: Wipers are exposed to wind, sun, rain and rain for a long time, and need to have good weather resistance and anti-aging properties to ensure a long service life.
Use and maintenance of wiper
Check the wiper strips regularly and replace them if they are aging or damaged.
Avoid using the wipers on dry glass to avoid damaging the adhesive strips.
When washing your vehicle, be sure to clean the wiper blades to remove dirt and impurities.
When parking the vehicle for a long time, you can stand the wipers upright to prevent the rubber strips from deforming.
