Under the scorching sun, the temperature of the front windshield gradually rises, and the high temperature has a significant impact on rubber products, accelerating the aging of wipers and reducing their service life. If there is really no shady parking space, you can set the wipers upright.

Maintenance methods for car wipers:

1. Do not expose to prolonged exposure to sunlight.

2. Clean before use.

The mud, sand, and dust raised on the road or fallen leaves parked under trees often get stuck on the rubber strip. If the rubber strip is not cleaned before use, it is easy to cause wear and tear on the rubber strip. Moreover, the wiper drives the mud and sand to slide on the glass, and it can also scratch the glass.

3. Spray water before use.

Before scraping, be sure to spray water first, and only scrape when the glass is wet enough, and use glass water. Because some raised mud, sand, and dust on the glass can cause deformation of the adhesive strip if not first moistened and softened with glass water.

4. Use specialized wiper water.

Many car owners, for convenience, use detergent mixed with water as wiper water. Although it has good cleaning ability, it will accelerate the aging of the rubber strip. It is essential to choose high-quality automotive professional glass cleaning water for windshield wipers, as it can effectively clean various stains and minimize damage to the wiper blades.

5. Remember to clean the rubber strip when washing the car.

The stains on the rubber strip should also be cleaned regularly, as long-term accumulation can cause corrosion, deformation, and aging of the rubber strip.

6. In case of heavy rainstorm, try not to use the car.

When encountering rainstorm, too much water will cause heavy load on the wiper and motor. If it cannot be wiped clearly, it will greatly affect driving safety. It is recommended not to use the car in heavy rainstorm.

7. Wipe off rainwater and snow before parking.

Before turning off the engine, scrape off any residual rainwater and snow from the front gear to avoid mixing the dust and residual liquid raised by the parking lot and solidifying them on the glass, which may cause deformation of the rubber strip during the next use of the wiper.
