How to Remove the Wiper of BYD F3?
3 Answers
Here is the process for removing and replacing the wiper of BYD F3: 1. Open the decorative cover of the wiper arm bracket to locate the fixing nut. 2. Use a wrench to remove the nut, then lift it upwards to detach the right-side wiper and wiper arm bracket. 3. Install the new wiper arm bracket in the same position and direction. Do not tighten the nut too much; adjust the arm to be parallel with the edge of the front hood, then lift the arm and reinstall the wiper blade. 4. Turn on the car's wiper to check if it is properly installed, then tighten the nut. 5. Reattach the decorative cover of the wiper arm bracket to protect the nut. The functions of the wiper include: 1. Removing raindrops and dust from the windshield to improve the driver's visibility and enhance driving safety. 2. Using the wiper to determine the position of the wheels. If the wiper node overlaps with the target, the tire has already crossed the line.
That day I was just replacing the wipers on my old F3, and it was actually quite simple. First, you need to sit in the driver's seat and push the wiper control lever forward a few times to make the wipers stand up and stop in the middle of the windshield. After getting out of the car, gently lift the wiper arm off the glass, and you'll see a square plastic clip at the base. Press the raised part in the middle of the clip with your thumb while pushing the wiper blade downward, and with a click, it comes loose. Be careful not to pull too hard, as the plastic parts on older cars can be brittle. After removing it, take the opportunity to wipe the accumulated grease at the wiper arm connection with a damp cloth, so the new wiper won’t make noise when installed. The whole process takes less than ten minutes, much easier than driving to a repair shop.
Helped a friend deal with the wiper issue on his 2007 F3, and found the disassembly design quite user-friendly. The key is to get the wipers into the service position—turn on the car and immediately power it off to stop the wipers. See that plastic clip with a small arrow at the base of the wiper blade? Pinch the arrow part and push it downward while gently rocking the wiper blade with your other hand to remove it. Remember not to let the wiper arm suddenly snap back and hit the windshield—it's best to place a thick towel underneath. While it's off, check the tension of the wiper arm spring; if it's too loose, it won't clear rainwater properly, and you might need to replace the entire assembly.
