How to Install Frameless Wipers?
2 Answers
Installation method for frameless wipers: Press the lower part of the wiper buckle, flip the buckle open, hook it onto the wiper mounting base, and then close the wiper buckle. If there are oil, wax, dirt, or other foreign substances on the windshield, clean them thoroughly before use. Frameless wipers are composed of four components: the wiper rubber blade, the frameless wiper steel strip, the wiper cover, and plastic parts. Wiper maintenance methods: 1. When using the wipers to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray windshield washer fluid and avoid dry wiping; 2. If there are stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass, clean them manually first; 3. When lifting the wiper blades during car washing or routine cleaning, hold the spine of the wiper blade and gently return it, avoiding snapping it back abruptly; 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice chips from the windshield surface first to prevent overburdening the wipers.
I have quite some experience installing frameless wipers. The first step is to park the car stably, turn off the engine, and then lift the wiper arm gently to avoid hitting the glass. When removing the old wiper, usually pressing a small button or twisting it slightly will release it. When installing the new frameless wiper, make sure to align the clip direction correctly, then gently push it in until you hear a 'click' sound, indicating it's securely locked. Remember not to use excessive force, as it may damage the clip. Finally, test it by spraying some water on the windshield and turning on the wipers to see if they clean properly. I always do this on sunny days because rainy conditions can make it slippery and prone to mistakes. Also, when selecting the size, refer to the manual—too large and it won’t clean properly, too small and it won’t cover enough. Safe driving depends on these details.
