Where is the highest point of the left wiper?
2 Answers
It is located at the upper left of the car's front windshield, approximately 10 centimeters from the top. Here are some related introductions about wipers: 1. Introduction one: The technical name for a wiper is a windscreen wiper, which is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield. It consists of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, wiper blade assembly, etc. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs the driver's view. 2. Introduction two: There are roughly two types of wipers. One is the traditional intermittent type, which is the most common wiper with three to four segments, adjustable by the driver based on rain intensity and visibility conditions. The other is the rain-sensing type, which has been increasingly used in mid-to-high-end models in recent years. A good wiper must have features such as heat resistance, cold resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, the ability to fit the windshield, reduce motor load, low noise, strong water repellency, and soft material that does not scratch the windshield, ensuring clear vision. 3. Introduction three: To maintain good visibility, wipers usually need to be replaced every six months to a year. However, some high-quality brands can last longer, such as the Bosch Aerotwin frameless series produced in Belgium and the Japanese-made bone series wipers by Trico.
As a car maintenance enthusiast, I often tinker with vehicle components. The highest point of the left wiper is located at the top center area of the windshield, with the exact position varying by vehicle model. Sit in the driver's seat, activate the wiper, and observe its sweeping motion—the highest contact point is the peak position. This determines whether the wiper's cleaning range covers the critical visibility zone. If the peak is too far left or right, the wiper arm may require adjustment or replacement; otherwise, residual rainwater may obstruct the view, especially increasing risks in harsh weather. It's recommended to inspect every six months—use a ruler to measure the position and compare it with the owner's manual to ensure alignment with the windshield curvature. Don’t forget to clean the rubber surface of the wiper blade to prevent dirt from affecting performance.
