Wiper is an important part of the car, helping to clean the windshield, ensuring clear vision for the driver in bad weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog. Choosing and using the wiper properly will help increase safety when driving.
However, under the influence of time and environmental factors, the wiper cannot avoid deterioration. So, when repairing and maintaining the wiper, what should we pay attention to? Let's delve into this issue.
Wear: The rubber wiper blade is in direct contact with the windshield, subject to constant friction, resulting in wear and reduced wiper efficiency.
Effects of UV rays: Ultraviolet rays from sunlight cause rubber to age, become hard and brittle, and easily crack. A study by Stanford University shows that UV rays can reduce the life of rubber by up to 50%.
Oxidation: Exposure to oxygen in the air also contributes to rubber aging.
Dirt: Dirt, sand, tree sap, etc. stick to the wiper blade and windshield, creating an abrasive film that scratches the glass and reduces wiper efficiency.
Substandard windshield washer fluid: Some windshield washer fluids contain strong chemicals that can damage rubber wiper blades.
High temperature: High temperature in summer causes rubber to age and deform quickly.
Acid rain: Acid rain can corrode wiper blades and metal parts of the wiper arm.
