Wiper blades are one of the important accessories of a car.
They can provide drivers with clear vision and ensure driving safety in rainy days or other bad weather.
However, many car owners have found that the wipers originally brought with the car have been used for a long time without problems, but the wipers replaced later are prone to problems such as unclear scraping, making noise, and wearing out the rubber strips.
Why is this?
In fact, there are many reasons for this situation, which can be mainly attributed to the following points: Wiper quality issues. Different brands and models of wipers have differences in materials, structures, processes, etc. Some wiper blades may use inferior rubber or steel sheets, or have unreasonable designs, resulting in reduced wiper performance and lifespan.
Therefore, when choosing wipers, you should try to choose products produced by regular manufacturers, matched with the original car, and with guaranteed quality.
Wiper usage habits. Many car owners do not develop good habits when using wipers, such as turning on the wipers directly when there is sand or other debris on the glass, dry wiping when there is no water on the glass, or forcibly turning on the wipers when they encounter freezing conditions in winter. Wipers etc. These practices will cause damage to the wipers and accelerate their aging and wear. Therefore, when using wipers, you should pay attention to the following points:
Before turning on the wipers, spray some water on the glass to moisten the glass and wipers to avoid dry wiping.
Before turning on the wipers, clean dust, leaves, fruits, animal feces and other debris on the glass to prevent hard objects from cutting the strips or abrading the glass.
When it rains lightly, do not turn on the continuous gear (low gear and high gear), but turn on the intermittent gear, and adjust the intermittent time according to the amount of rain to avoid semi-dry scraping.
In short, the service life of the wipers is related to factors such as quality, usage habits, maintenance, etc. As long as you pay attention to the above points, you can “extend the life” of your wipers and protect your driving safety.
