How Long Is the Warranty for Car Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
Car wiper blades are typically covered under warranty for 6 months. The maintenance methods for wiper blades include: 1. Clearing accumulated water from the wiper blades and windshield promptly after washing the car in winter; 2. Regularly inspecting the wiper blades for cracks or damage; 3. Avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight; 4. Turning off the wipers before shutting down the engine. The function of wiper blades is to remove raindrops and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Precautions for using wiper blades: 1. Do not activate the wiper switch when the windshield is dry; 2. Avoid removing the wiper motor arbitrarily; 3. Keep the wiper motor clean; 4. Clean the wiper blades regularly.
I remember the salesperson mentioned that the warranty for wiper blades is particularly short when buying a car, usually just around 3 months. In fact, they're considered consumables, just like tires and brake pads, so manufacturers don't offer long warranties. Last time, my wiper blades started skipping after 5 months of use, and the 4S shop said they were already out of warranty. The technician taught me some maintenance tips: don't scrape off bird droppings or tree sap on the windshield directly—spray washer fluid first to soften them; never force the wipers to move if they're frozen in winter—wait until they thaw; and wipe the rubber blades with a damp cloth weekly to remove sand particles. Now I'm on my third set of wipers, and I've found that buying coated wiper blades provides a cleaner wipe and extends their lifespan to over a year, which works better than the OEM ones.
