2025-08-15

It's rainy season! Slippery roads and blurred vision have become daily driving hazards. A well-maintained wiper blade is your first line of defense for driving safety. However, many drivers only think about it when it rains, neglecting its daily use and maintenance. Today, SORTECH will share some practical tips for daily use and maintenance of your wiper blade, ensuring it can safeguard your driving safety at critical moments.

 

A wiper blade's primary function is to clean the windshield and prevent the driver's vision from being obstructed. It's typically operated using the wiper blade handle under the steering wheel. It can also be used in conjunction with a washer system to clean the windshield using a nozzle and washer water.

1 .Daily Use/Maintenance Tips:

a. Refill water regularly to avoid drying out:

Before using a wiper blade, ensure there is sufficient windshield washer fluid in your car to avoid operating without it. Using the wiper blade without windshield washer fluid can damage the wiper blades and the wiper blade's spray motor.

b. Use with caution if foreign matter is attached to the windshield:

If foreign matter such as solidified mud, bird droppings, and ice is attached to the windshield, using the wipers directly to wipe will have limited cleaning effectiveness and may cause noise and excessive wear on the wiper blades. It is recommended to remove stubborn stains before using the wipers.

c. Clean the wiper blades and avoid rinsing:

When washing your car, do not use a high-pressure water jet to directly rinse the wiper blades. Instead, use a soft towel to wipe the wiper blades to prevent damage and aging.

d. Regularly inspect and replace:

Wiper blades are mostly made of rubber, and aging and chalking are inevitable. It is recommended to inspect the wiper blades annually or every 10,000 kilometers and replace them if necessary.

e. When parking outdoors, raise the wipers:

If your vehicle will be parked outdoors for an extended period, it is recommended to raise the wiper arms to keep the wiper blades clear of the glass.

f. If your windshield is not clean, clean the edges.

If streaks or a poor wiper is left on the windshield when using the wipers, it may be due to residual dirt on the wipers. Simply lift the wiper arm and wipe along the wiper edge to remove any remaining dirt and debris. Restore your wiper blade.
