The wiper system is one of the main safety devices of a car. It can remove raindrops and snowflakes from the windshield during rainy or snowy weather, and clear mud splashed onto the windshield when driving on muddy roads, ensuring the driver's visibility and vehicle safety. This article will discuss the precautions to take when using hybrid wipers in the summer to ensure driving safety.
When a vehicle is exposed to strong sunlight in summer, the surface temperature of the glass will rise above 60°C. The rubber strip of the hybrid wipers, being pressed against the glass for a long time, is prone to deformation and high-temperature aging, which greatly reduces the lifespan of the wiper blades. Therefore, it is recommended to park the vehicle in a shaded area during summer. This not only slows down the aging of the wiper rubber strip but also reduces the damage of high temperature and UV rays to the car paint.
If the wipers are activated without water, it can easily damage the wiper blades and the motor. When cleaning the windshield without rain, we should use the spray setting to apply windshield washer fluid. To ensure proper use during daily driving, it is recommended to regularly check and add windshield washer fluid. Also, choose quality-assured car windshield washer fluid and minimize the use of ammonia-containing cleaners, as homemade or inferior washer fluids can accelerate the hardening of the wiper blades.
During car washes, the wipers are often overlooked due to their inconspicuousness, but now we should pay more attention. The key is to wipe the rubber strip to remove dust and sand to avoid scratching the windshield. You can also take this opportunity to test the wiper blades and see the water wiping effect and condition. If there are leaves, small stones, or other debris under the wipers, or if there is dust attached to the surface, it is essential to clean them in time. During use, these elements can damage the wiper rubber strips and scratch the windshield.
In summer, rain often comes suddenly and heavily. In such cases, we should appropriately increase the frequency and speed of wiper use to ensure the windshield remains clear. Therefore, in hot weather, we should avoid prolonged use of the wipers, especially when it's not raining or when the rain is light, and turn off the wipers in time to prevent excessive wear on the wiper rubber blades.
In short, correctly using wipers is an important step in ensuring driving safety. Choosing wiper blades is also crucial; they should be selected according to the car model. Some wiper blade models may not be compatible, which can affect actual usage. BOSOKO provides high-quality hybrid wipers to keep a clear view on the road, safeguarding your driving safety.
