How Long Is the Warranty for New Car Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
New car wiper blades are typically covered by a warranty of 6 months or 10,000 kilometers. As wiper blades are considered wear-and-tear items, their warranty period is relatively short. It is recommended to inspect wiper blades every six months and replace them annually. The steps to replace wiper blades are as follows: 1. Lift the wiper arm; 2. Press the tab underneath to remove the wiper blade; 3. Take off the old wiper blade; 4. Lift the front end of the center tab; 5. Insert the new wiper blade into the center tab, pull it firmly by hand until you hear a click, indicating the replacement is complete. Wiper blades are blade-like structures installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly.
I also paid close attention to the wiper warranty when buying a new car. Actually, most brands classify wipers as wear-and-tear parts with separate warranty periods, typically only 3 to 6 months. The car I picked up last year clearly stated in the manual that the wipers are warranted for 4 months or 5,000 km. I suggest checking your warranty manual upon delivery, as there are significant differences between brands. Some premium models offer longer coverage, but most economy cars only provide a few months. If you experience poor wiping or skipping within six months, just visit the 4S店 for a free replacement. By the way, try to park away from direct sunlight to extend the rubber blade's lifespan.
