Problem

What is the difference between boneless wipers and boneless wipers?

Answer

Boneless wipers can be intelligently adjusted by matching the pressure of the spring of the scraper arm and the curved surface of the glass to produce a perfect fit without a fulcrum, which will produce a more excellent wiper effect, and will be pressed down by the built-in spring blade of the boneless wiper. Cushioning effect, longer service life; Bone wiper is fixed by the fulcrum. The rubber strip is easily pressed by the spring pressure of the scraper arm to overwhelm the surface of the strip to produce water marks. However, for models with insufficient compression force of the boneless wiper arm, it is recommended to use the Bone wiper.

Problem

The scraping brush is not clean, there are water marks?

Answer

1. If there is such a situation on the installation of a new wiper, please check whether the glass surface of the car is clean or whether the arc of the car scraper arm is too large, and there is interference with the adapter connector;
2. After a period of use, because the front windshield is exposed for a long time, the glass will accumulate gravel, impurities, insect stains and other substances. When the wiper scrapes back and forth, these foreign particles will damage or adhere to the edge of the rubber strip, so After scraping for a period of time, the scraping is not clean. Improvement method: you need to wipe the residue on the edge of the rubber strip with wet paper towels regularly or use 1000 grit sandpaper to soak the surface of the rubber strip to wipe the surface, and then use the wiper. Thoroughly cleaning the front glass can improve this situation;
3. The whole piece is fuzzy and waterline streaks may be not in place during installation, remove and reinstall, to ensure that the wiper blade and the wiper arm should rotate flexibly, or the elastic sheet inside the rubber strip of the wiper blade product deforms, adjusts Improving the shrapnel inside the straight rubber strip or replacing the wiper;
4. Scraping appears misty. An oily oil film layer is distributed on the windshield with the action of the wiper and the disappearance speed exceeds 10 seconds. It may be that the surface area of the glass and rubber strips presses the dirt. Use a professional cleaner to remove the glass and Dirt or car wax on wiper strips;
5. The middle is clean when scraping, and the two ends are slightly warped. Because of the problem of the windshield curvature of the co-pilot, the windshield wiper of the co-pilot has 2CM*7CM at the end when the wiper brushes upward from the bottom dead center (the distance the wiper moves upward) The part can not be scratched, and the fact that there is no contact with the glass surface is tolerable (because the owner cannot see this area in the cab and does not affect safe driving).
