How to Lift the Octavia Wiper Blades?
1 Answers
Method to lift the Octavia wiper blades: For an Octavia that is running, quickly turn off the ignition and then flick the wiper switch once. The wipers will move to the middle of the windshield. You can then manually lift the wipers and lay them flat, which will keep them in an upright position. Reasons for lifting the wiper blades: 1. Protect the wiper blades: In summer, the intense heat can raise the temperature of the car's windshield surface to 50 degrees Celsius. The rubber material of standard wiper blades can deform under prolonged exposure to sunlight, so lifting the wiper blades helps prevent rubber deformation. 2. Prevent adhesion: Many car owners park their vehicles on the roadside for extended periods. Trees secrete sap that can fall onto the car and stick to the rubber strips of the wiper blades. The resulting adhesive residue can transfer to the windshield, making it difficult to clean and potentially obstructing the driver's view. 3. Protect the wiper motor: Forcing the wipers to operate can damage the wiper motor.
