Car wipers are generally replaced once a year or so, but some car owners' wipers are not easy to use for about half a year, so how to maintain the wipers to extend their service life?

1. Check the wipers regularly

When you haven't used the wiper for a long time, you need to check the status of the wiper regularly. You can spray some cleaning liquid on the windshield first, and then start the wipers, pay attention to whether the movement is smooth, and listen for noise. If the action is stuck or there is an abnormal sound, you can apply lubricating oil after cleaning, if there is still a problem, please go to the 4S shop to repair and replace it in time.

2. The maintenance of the rubber strip is very important

When the temperature is high, the surface temperature of the windshield of the car rises after a long period of direct sunlight, and the rubber strip on the wiper is in contact with the high-temperature windshield for a long time, which is easy to be softened and deformed by heat. Therefore, if you park outdoors for a long time, it is best to put the wipers up.

3. Wipers also need lubrication

Not only do all kinds of parts in the car need to be lubricated, but also the wipers that are exposed to the sun and rain on the outside of the body all year round need to be lubricated, especially the key connection parts such as the junction of the wiper arm and the tension spring of the wiper arm need to be lubricated and maintained.

4. It is important to wash regularly

The wiper needs to be cleaned regularly like the car, because the wiper is easy to accumulate mud and sand and fallen leaves, it is best to remove it before getting into the car to avoid the wear and tear of the glass and the wiper when used. If bird droppings or gum fall between the wipers and windshield of the vehicle parked outdoors, do not spray water and scrape with the wipers, which will increase the wear and tear of the wipers, so wipe them off with a damp rag or towel.

5. Use glass cleaner correctly

Windshield cleaning agent, generally referred to as glass water, is a consumable product in vehicle use. Many car owners like to configure their own, but these non-compliant "glass water" often cause damage to the wipers and windshields. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase professional glass water, and at the same time pay attention to replacing glass water with different functions according to seasonal changes, and in areas where the temperature begins to drop in autumn, it is necessary to replace glass water with antifreeze.
