Water streaks on windshield wipers are caused by aging rubber strips, uneven force distribution, or the presence of an oily film. Below are detailed explanations: Aging Rubber Strips: Aging causes the rubber to become rough, making it unable to wipe away water streaks cleanly, and may also produce unusual noises. Uneven Force Distribution on Wiper Arm: Uneven force distribution on the wiper arm leads to inconsistent pressure at various contact points, resulting in some areas making tight contact while others have gaps, thereby causing water streaks. Adjusting the spring tension can help resolve this issue. Oily Film on the Windshield: An oily film on the windshield has strong adhesion to water, making it difficult to remove even with wiper action. Using a glass cleaner with effective cleaning properties is necessary to thoroughly eliminate the oily film.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a car sunroof?

1. Advantages of a sunroof: Ventilation and air exchange to improve the in-car environment. Wind entering through the sunroof creates an airflow that draws out stale air from the cabin. The sunroof promotes air circulation inside the vehicle, allowing harmful gases to dissipate more quickly. 2.

Adding a sunroof means considering maintenance and upkeep issues. Moreover, if the sunroof's sealing fails, it could lead to water leakage during rain, so be prepared to bear potential losses.
