New Wiper Leaves Water Marks on Return Stroke?
1 Answers
Water marks are not necessarily caused by the wiper; it could be due to an oil film on the windshield. Here is some relevant information about oil film on the windshield: 1. How to determine if there is an oil film: To check for an oil film, simply pour a basin of water onto the windshield. If many small water droplets adhere to the surface, it indicates the presence of an oil film. 2. How to remove the oil film: This oil film has strong adhesion to water, making it difficult to remove even with wiper strokes. It is necessary to use the cleaning effect of a glass cleaner to thoroughly remove the oil film. If the new wiper is of poor quality with rough rubber, it will not only leave water marks (incomplete wiping) but also produce a squeaking noise. In this case, sandpaper can be used to smooth the rubber. If the issue is uneven pressure causing the wiper to wipe poorly, the distance between the springs should be adjusted.
