How to Fix Windshield Wipers That Don't Clean Water Properly?
1 Answers
Windshield wipers not cleaning properly is usually caused by aging or worn-out wiper blades. The solution is very simple: replace them with new ones. When wiper blades age or wear out, they no longer fit snugly against the windshield, leading to ineffective cleaning and often causing noise during operation. Wiper blades are categorized into conventional (frame-type) wipers and beam (frame-less) wipers. Below are the key differences between the two: 1. Structural Support: The main difference lies in whether the wiper has a frame support structure. 2. Cleaning Performance: Beam wipers perform better because they use the entire blade to apply pressure, distributing force evenly across the entire blade. This results in superior cleaning compared to conventional wipers. Additionally, the steel strips in beam wipers are more flexible, minimizing wear on the windshield. 3. Lifespan: Beam wipers generally last longer due to their reduced vibration and wear, uniform pressure distribution, UV resistance, and lighter weight. Conventional wipers, on the other hand, rely on a skeletal structure that transfers force from the wiper arm through a two-tier bracket system, converting a single point of force into multiple pressure points along the blade for even distribution.
