How to Choose Car Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
Here are the methods for selecting car wiper blades: 1. Rubber quality: When choosing wiper blades, the rubber should have good flexibility and sufficient moisture to maintain close contact with the windshield. This ensures a clean wipe and good visibility. 2. Beam blades: Beam-style wipers, without a traditional frame, allow the entire rubber blade to adhere closely to the car's glass, distributing pressure evenly across the blade for a clean wiping effect, ensuring better visibility and driver safety. 3. Anti-jitter performance: In rainy conditions, wipers that jitter not only obstruct part of the view but also fail to wipe rainwater effectively. Therefore, when selecting wiper blades, choose ones with good anti-jitter performance that can closely fit the windshield, providing uniform pressure distribution for the wiper.
Last time I changed the wipers for my wife's car, I did a lot of research. The most crucial thing is to first check the car's year and model, as wiper interfaces can be completely different between vehicles. At the auto parts market, I once saw someone forcing the wrong interface and bending the wiper arm in the process. Now I keep the electronic version of the manual in my phone for quick reference to the original size. In terms of material, if the budget allows, go straight for silicone ones. Although they cost 30-40 yuan more, they last at least half a year longer and are much quieter in the rain. Rubber ones always make some squeaky noises, which can be unbearable for perfectionists. Oh, and I recommend choosing ones with aerodynamic design—they're especially stable when driving at high speeds.
