What happens if I put the wrong size wiper blades on my car?
If you install the wrong size wiper blades on your car, you might run into several problems:
Poor Visibility
If the wipers are too small, they might not cover the entire windshield, leaving streaks or spots of water and dirt, which reduces your visibility while driving. If they’re too big, they might scrape against the car’s frame or other parts, not cleaning properly.
Ineffective Cleaning
Wipers that are too short won’t clear all the rain or debris from your windshield, while wipers that are too long may not work properly because they extend beyond the windshield.
Damage to the Wiper System
If the wipers are too large, they can put extra strain on the wiper arm and motor, potentially causing damage to the entire wiper system over time.
Noise and Vibration
Wipers that are the wrong size can make squeaking noises or shake as they move, which is not only annoying but can also be distracting when driving.
Uneven Wear
Using the wrong size wipers can cause them to wear unevenly, reducing their lifespan and requiring more frequent replacements.
To ensure good visibility and extend the life of your wipers, it’s important to use the correct size wiper blades for your vehicle. This will help ensure they work efficiently and last longer.
