Where to Install the Long and Short Windshield Wipers?
1 Answers
Generally, the long wiper is installed on the driver's side, and the short wiper is installed on the passenger side. Below are the specific details about windshield wipers: 1. Design Principle: The reason for having one long and one short wiper is to ensure the driver's visibility remains unobstructed. In some car models, the wipers on both the driver and passenger sides are of the same length, primarily because the curvature of the windshield is relatively large. Using wipers of unequal length might result in missed spots during rain clearing. Some car models also feature a wiper on the rear windshield. 2. Working Modes: Windshield wipers have two working modes: one is the synchronized left-right mode, and the other is the cross-wiping mode. The synchronized left-right mode is more common in most car models, as it has a lower installation cost. The coverage rate of synchronized wiping is approximately 80%, while the cross-wiping mode offers a coverage rate of about 90%.
