What to Do When the Wiper Makes Noise While Wiping the Windshield?
2 Answers
If there are foreign objects between the wiper blade and the windshield, it not only produces a 'quacking' sound during wiping but also significantly affects the wiping effect, posing certain safety hazards. Therefore, after driving through areas with poor road conditions, it's advisable to check the wiper for any foreign objects and clean them promptly if found. Below is an introduction to wipers: 1. Introduction: The wiper blade is a commonly used automotive accessory, primarily used to wipe rainwater off the windshield during rainy days and for cleaning the windshield. The power source of the wiper blade comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. 2. Performance: Wiper blades must be heat-resistant, cold-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant, able to fit the windshield, reduce the burden on the motor, produce low noise, have strong water repellency, and be soft enough not to scratch the windshield, ensuring clear visibility. 3. Classification: Wiper blades are divided into two types: conventional (frame) wiper blades and beam (flat) wiper blades.
My windshield wipers often make a squeaking noise when wiping the glass, just like the creaking sound of an old car. This is usually caused by worn rubber blades or oily residue on the windshield. It's easy to fix it yourself: first, park the car securely and thoroughly clean the windshield with a damp cloth, especially the areas where the wipers make contact. If you notice an oily film, simply spray some dish soap solution and rinse it off. If the noise persists, inspect the wiper blades for visible cracks or frayed edges—these are signs that it's time to replace them. When buying new ones, opt for high-quality blades to avoid frequent replacements. In winter, the rubber tends to stiffen, so spraying some antifreeze solution to warm them up before driving can reduce the noise. Develop good habits: avoid wiping dry glass or operating the wipers under scorching sunlight, check the rubber blades monthly, and keep the joints lubricated. This saves money and hassle while preventing the risk of poor visibility on the road.
