How to Lift the Wiper of a Volkswagen Car?
2 Answers
To lift the wiper of a Volkswagen car, simply pull the wiper arm upwards. Below is an introduction about the wiper: 1. The wiper has a metal wiper arm, which holds the wiper blade. Inside the metal wiper arm, there is a spring. When replacing the wiper blade, you only need to pull the wiper arm upwards to lift it, and then you can replace the wiper blade. 2. Most cars have wiper blades with a U-shaped interface, which is very convenient for removal. During the replacement process, it is important to note that after lifting the metal wiper arm and removing the wiper blade, you must hold the metal wiper arm to prevent it from snapping back and breaking the windshield. 3. The head of the metal wiper arm is made of metal. When selecting a wiper blade, be sure to choose one that fits the size of your car's windshield and has the correct interface. The wiper blade is a wear-and-tear part, and there is no exact replacement time for it. It should be replaced when it fails to clean the windshield properly or makes unusual noises during operation.
I learned this trick when I first drove a Volkswagen. Generally, a few seconds after the vehicle is turned off, the wiper arms will automatically stop in a specific position, making it easy to lift the wiper blades by hand. If that doesn't work, many Volkswagen models have a 'wiper maintenance mode': first turn the ignition switch to 'ON,' then turn it off, and quickly press the washer button on the wiper lever once. This will raise the wipers and stop them in the middle of the windshield, making it convenient to prevent freezing in winter or to replace new wiper blades. Remember not to pull them forcefully, as it may damage the motor or the glass. I've always operated them this way, avoiding the problem of them getting stuck after frost. Additionally, wiper blades last about a year, so regular checks are important to prevent dry wiping from ruining the rubber part. A simple habit can save a lot of repair trouble.
