As China enters a hot summer and precipitation is increasing, we focus on the wipers in this episode. Wipers are essential in daily driving, and in rainy days, wipers should be used to ensure a clear windshield to ensure safe driving. So, as a consumable, under what circumstances should wipers be replaced? How to replace it myself?
Wipers are required. The service life of wipers is generally about 1-2 years, but when the following conditions occur, wipers are required. The first is when it’s not clean. After rain, there are water streaks and water marks behind the wiper, and the type of fan that cannot be wiped clean indicates that the tape has been aged. Continued use will cause the glass to blur and affect the vision, which is not conducive to driving safety. Secondly, the wiper itself has cracks, vacancies, and relatively loud noise. These premise that the wiper tape is also aging and damaged, and should be replaced in time. Similarly, from the perspective of service life, it is generally used for more than 2 years, and the rubber wiper strip must also be replaced after sunshine and rain.
Optional type of wiper replacement. The replacement of the wiper is actually the rubber strip and attached part of the wiper. Wipers are also divided into several types, generally there are bone wipers and boneless wipers. The surface of the bone wiper is easy to see the keel. Press the rubber strips against the glass according to the multiple pivot points in the frame. The pressure on each fulcrum is uneven, and it is prone to damage at different levels during use, resulting in unclean scratches and noise. No keel is visible on the surface of the boneless wiper. It hides the keel in the rubber strip, forming a whole so that the pressure distribution is relatively even, the wiping effect is better, and the noise is less.
Precautions for wipers. In order to reduce costs, many friends choose their own wipers. For wipers, first pay attention to the difference between bone and boneless. Bone wipers can be replaced with better boneless wipers, but pay attention to the pressure of the car wiper bracket. If the pressure is too low, it will cause the boneless wiper to have insufficient fit strength and warp in the middle. Phenomenon. Secondly, if you buy from Taobao, try to choose the original brand wiper, which is more suitable. Also, pay attention to the size of the wiper and the connector can fit the wiper bracket, there are 5 kinds of connectors, the U type accounts for the key part. The wiper should not be too long, if it is too long, it will increase the motor pressure, and the wiper will increase the area of rubbing the front windshield, resulting in abnormal noise.
The above describes the phenomenon and precautions for the need for wipers. However, in daily driving, it is more important to pay more attention to the maintenance of the wiper, not to scrape, to clean it in time, and to apply it properly, which is very helpful to improve the service life of the wiper.
