What is the problem when two wipers collide with each other?
2 Answers
Two wipers colliding with each other may be due to the replacement wiper blades being too long and not matching the size. Simply replace them with the correct size next time. Different vehicle models may have wiper blades of varying sizes. Wipers are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Here are some daily usage precautions for wipers: 1. Pay attention to moisture when using wipers daily: Ensure that the rubber wiper blades maintain sufficient moisture. Only with adequate moisture can they have excellent flexibility to maintain close contact with the windshield. Insufficient water on the windshield before daily use can lead to dry wiping, producing the opposite effect. 2. Wait for more raindrops to accumulate on the windshield before turning on the wipers: If raindrops accumulate slowly and do not affect visibility, it's best to wait until more raindrops accumulate on the windshield before turning on the wipers. When using wipers in light rain, it's advisable to spray windshield washer fluid before wiping to ensure there is enough water on the windshield to moisten the wipers.
Last time I noticed the wipers hitting each other, which was quite annoying, especially in the rain when visibility was poor, posing a significant safety risk. Possible causes include misaligned or bent wiper arms. When I checked myself, I found loose installation or rusted linkage causing unsynchronized movement. I had to stop and manually adjust them; if that didn't work, I'd need a professional to realign them. When parking, avoid letting the wipers freeze or get pressed by hard objects. Regularly cleaning the windshield can reduce friction wear. Ignoring it for too long may worsen motor wear, increasing repair costs. In short, don't keep driving if this happens—ensure safety and address it promptly.
