As an important part of a car, wipers' main function is to scrape raindrops and dust from the vehicle windshield to improve the driver's visibility and increase driving safety. Since the wipers are made of rubber, they will age during use, so they need to be replaced regularly. In addition, the replacement cycle of wipers is also affected by the frequency of use, the environment of use and whether proper maintenance is performed. Car owners should decide whether they need to be replaced in a dvance based on the actual working status and appearance of the wipers. Especially if the following situations occur, your wipers need to be replaced.
1. Streaking or screeching when your wipers are running.
Pay attention to the clarity outside your windshield when driving in the rain. If you notice streaks on your front windshield, or the rubber blades make a loud noise as they move across the glass, I see it's time to replace your wipers. If you don't have time to replace the wipers with new ones, it is recommended that you clean the blades with a little vinegar or alcohol first to prevent the blades from squeaking. This method is an immediate remedy, but it is ultimately recommended that you replace the wipers with new ones.
2. Check if the wiper blades are damaged
The next time you're ready to go out, stand the wipers up from the windshield and look at the rubber part of the blade. Check the wiper blades for cracks or chips. If you notice any damage, try replacing the wiper blades. If you don't have time to replace the wipers with new ones, it is recommended that you clean the blades with a little vinegar or alcohol first to prevent the blades from squeaking. This method is an immediate remedy, but it is ultimately recommended that you replace the wipers with new ones.
3. Period for new wipers.
After most wipers are used for more than 6 months, the wiper strips age quickly and need to be replaced after a maximum of 1 year of use. If you choose high-quality wipers and maintain them properly, their service life can even reach more than 2 years.
Plus, new wipers show no signs of damage and you can safely leave them in for up to 1 year.
In summary, it can be concluded that under normal circumstances, the replacement cycle of ordinary wipers is 1 to 2 years. If high-quality wipers are properly maintained, the service life of wipers can reach more than 2 years. Frequent use and harsh usage environments (such as frequent dry wiping, frequent exposure to the sun, etc.) will accelerate the aging and damage of the wipers, so the replacement cycle needs to be shortened to 6-12 months. In addition, if you find that the wipers are not scraping clean, make abnormal noises, or have other problems, they should be replaced in time to ensure driving safety.
To solve the above problems, it is recommended that you buy higher quality wipers to ensure your travel safety. For more details please contact us at enquiry@xmyujin.com.
