Since the wiper blade is a consumable part, the correct use of the wiper has a lot to do with prolonging the service time of the wiper blade. The following will introduce some common knowledge of the daily use and maintenance of the wiper blade.

Use in Daily

The rubber strip of the windshield wiper blade is composed of a thin coating layer on the rubber strip body and the surface (Extend the aging time of the rubber, reduce the friction between the rubber strip and the glass, and reduce the scratching noise). The following operations will damage the wiper blade:

1. Dry wiping: Dry wiping refers to the behavior of turning on the wipers when there is no water on the windshield of the car. It is strongly recommended to avoid dry wiping! ! !

2. Long-term semi-dry wiping: Semi-dry wiping refers to the behavior of turning on the wipers when the amount of water on the windshield of the car is very small. If there is a slight drizzle during driving, it is recommended not to directly open the continuous gears (low gear and high gear) to open the intermittent gear, and adjust the intermittent time according to the rainfall.

3. Directly wipe foreign objects: When there are foreign objects such as branches, dry leaves, dry bird droppings, and sand in the front windshield of the vehicle, please clean the foreign objects in the front windshield before turning on the wiper, so as to avoid damage to the blade caused by hard objects cutting the edge of the rubber strip.

Use in Summer

1. Exposure to the sun: When the vehicle is exposed to the scorching sun in summer, the surface temperature of the glass will rise to above 60°C, and the wiper strip will be pressed and attached to the glass for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to park the vehicle in a cool place in summer as much as possible, which will not only delay the aging of the wiper blade rubber strip, but also reduce the damage to the car paint caused by high temperature and ultraviolet rays!

2. High-speed driving: I believe that many of my friends have had such an experience. There are many mosquitoes in summer. After running at high speed, there will be many mosquito bodies on the front windshield. Due to the high-speed driving, the mosquito bodies are quickly dried and hardened. The corpse will not only be cleaned up, but also the wiper blade will be cut and damaged. Therefore, it is recommended to use other methods to solve the problem, instead of using the wiper to clean up! ! !

Use in Winter

1. Frost and icing: frequent rain and snow in winter, coupled with the cold weather, the windshield is easy to freeze, especially for vehicles parked outdoors, especially after a night of cold wind and snow. After the windshield is frozen, the wiper blades are often frozen together. At this time, starting the wiper will not only fail to remove the ice layer, but will also seriously damage the wiper. At this time, dear friends can use a special glass frost shovel to remove the frost on the glass. But remember to push in one direction, do not scratch back and forth to avoid scratching the glass! ! ! After using the frost shovel to clean up, don't forget to turn on the warm air defrost to remove the remaining ice residue! ! !

2. Snow cover: When the windshield is thick with snow in winter, do not use wipers to remove snow. Clearing thick snow will exceed the power range of the wiper motor, and a forced start will damage the wiper. If the vehicle is covered with snow, please refer to the "defrosting and deicing method" mentioned above.

Recommendation: Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to park the vehicle in the indoor parking lot. If there are no conditions, you also need to pay attention to the following issues:

A) . If you have a car cover, please use a car cover to protect your car.

B) . Avoid stopping under trees to prevent snow from breaking branches and hitting the windshield.

C) . In order to prevent snow or ice from contacting the glass with the wiper at night, the wiper can be lifted after parking.

Note: If the wind is strong at night, it is not recommended to stand up the wiper arm to prevent the wiper arm from being blown down by the wind and smashing the front windshield! ! !
