What to Do When Windshield Wipers Don't Clean Properly?

[MaciRose]

Here are the reasons why windshield wipers don't clean properly: Dirty windshield: Inadequate cleaning of the windshield during regular car washes can leave sticky particles on the glass, preventing the wipers from cleaning properly and potentially damaging them. Visiting a car wash for a thorough windshield cleaning can solve this issue. Hardened wiper blades: If the wiper blades have hardened due to aging, you can either replace them with new ones or clean the wipers with a lubricant. Misaligned wiper arm angle: Adjust the angle of the wiper arm. Use an adjustment wrench to hold the wiper and gently rotate it to align it properly. Alternatively, visit a repair shop for professional adjustment. Frozen wipers: Wipers are typically made of rubber, which can freeze and harden in low winter temperatures. After starting the car, direct some warm air toward the windshield to raise its temperature slightly before using the wipers.
