What Causes Loud Wiper Blade Friction Noise?
1 Answers
Loud wiper blade friction noise is generally caused by sand particles trapped in the grooves on both sides of the wiper rubber or due to aging and hardening of the wiper blade. Dirt and debris on the windshield can also create noise when the wiper moves. Regular cleaning of the windshield and replacing aged wiper blades can resolve the issue. More details are as follows: 1. Wiper blades, also known as windscreen wipers or windshield wipers, are devices used to remove rain and dust from a vehicle's windshield, improving driver visibility and enhancing road safety. 2. The wiper blade rubber should remain adequately moist. Only with sufficient moisture can it maintain excellent flexibility, ensuring tight contact with the windshield. Precautions for Wiper Blade Usage: 1. When using wipers to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray windshield washer fluid to avoid dry wiping. 2. For stubborn or hard debris on the windshield, clean it manually. These substances can easily damage the wiper blade, leading to ineffective wiping. In severe cases, the wiper motor may also be affected. 3. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or routine cleaning, hold the "backbone" of the wiper blade and gently return it to its position. Avoid snapping it back abruptly. 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice from the windshield before using the wipers to prevent overburdening them.
