What is the plastic baffle under the wiper called?
1 Answers
It is called a rain deflector, also known as a rain guide or drainage panel. The functions of the rain deflector are as follows: The lower decorative panel of the front windshield protects the wiper from rain and dust while also serving a decorative purpose. The lower end of the front windshield decorative panel is equipped with a drainage channel, and a waterproof device is located at the upper end of the drainage channel to prevent rainwater from flowing into the engine. Precautions: The outer side of the front windshield decorative panel usually has a sealing strip. The plastic parts of older cars often age and become damaged. If there is water leakage during rain, consider replacing the sealing strip or repairing the damaged area with plastic strips to resolve the issue. During regular car washes, pay attention to cleaning fallen leaves near the decorative panel to extend the lifespan of the wiper. This also helps prevent blockages and accelerates interior aging. Definition and components of car wipers: Wipers refer to the blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Function of car wipers: Car wipers are used during rainy weather to clear raindrops from the glass surface, ensuring clear and unobstructed visibility for the driver. Driving safety is of utmost importance, and wiper blades help reduce the incidence of traffic accidents, ensuring safe travel.
