How to Deal with Wipers Skipping on the Windshield?

[KennedyDella]

Methods to address wipers skipping on the windshield: 1. Replace the wiper blades. Wiper blades should be replaced every one to two years. Since wipers are rubber products, they tend to harden and deteriorate over time. 2. The windshield may not be clean enough, with debris present, requiring timely cleaning. 3. The wiper blade may not be perpendicular to the windshield. The solution is to use pliers to adjust the front end of the wiper arm—twist counterclockwise if the wiper skips during the upward stroke, or twist clockwise if it skips during the return stroke, until the skipping stops and the wiper blade remains perpendicular to the windshield. Wipers are blade-like structures installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly, primarily used to clear rain, snow, and dust that obstruct visibility on the windshield.
