What to Do When the Windshield Wipers Feel Blurry on Rainy Days?

First, check if there are any foreign objects stuck in the wiper blades. If so, they need to be removed, as they can significantly affect the wiping performance. If the angle is incorrect, it may cause the wiper blades to shake up and down (due to uneven force distribution) during operation, affecting their wiping efficiency. A slight adjustment may be necessary. A layer of oil film on the windshield can cause the wipers to leave streaks. It is essential to use a glass cleaner to thoroughly remove the oil film from the glass as soon as possible. The wiper blades may be dirty, possibly contaminated with oil, insect residue, or plant sap, leading to blurry vision. Cleaning the wiper blades and adding windshield washer fluid can help.
I've encountered the issue of a blurry windshield on rainy days many times. First, check the wiper blades. If they're old or have oil residue on the surface, replacing them can solve the problem significantly. Often, oil film residue on the glass causes poor wiping. I use glass cleaner to thoroughly wipe it several times, then apply a layer of wiper lubricant with a soft cloth to help rainwater slide off quickly and reduce blurriness. Turning on the air conditioning for defogging is crucial during rain. I adjust the air vents to face the windshield directly, increase the fan speed slightly, and set a moderate temperature to prevent heavier fogging. I've also found that regular glass cleaning and using professional water repellents can prevent blurring. I make it a habit to treat the windshield during every car wash to maintain clear visibility for safe driving.
