Selection of wipers for your car

Autumn is in full swing, and the winter is not far off, it's time to think about replacing such a small but very important device like windshield wipers, car owners call them - janitors. This strip of rubber clears the windshield from rain, snow, spray - anything that affects the visibility of the road. So its high-quality work is a guarantee of your safety. The choice of janitors should be made especially carefully, because only a high-quality product will serve you in any weather.

Modern scientists are working on improving the design, apply natural rubber, use graphite and silicone. The profile of the elastic band also undergoes innovations. Separate wiper frameless and wireframe.

Frame wipers

Electric windshield wipers, consisting of a metal frame and a rubber strip-brush - are called skeleton. Modern cars differ from their ancestors with a special bulge of the windshield. To ensure the best pressing of the entire surface of the brush to the glass, wireframe wipers are equipped with a system of rocker arms connected by hinges. The more of them, the better the fit of the rubber, but at the same time the durability of the device decreases. Domestic manufacturers often use a thin metal frame in combination with a single-layer rubber, which significantly reduces the price of the product. Unfortunately, such janitors do not serve for long, there is a great chance of scratches, squeaks and other troubles. Better models for improving the fit due to aerodynamics are equipped with spoilers. In addition, multi-profile wear-resistant rubber bands are used, and thick metal is used for the frame in conjunction with a riveted joint, or some parts, including hinges, are replaced by plastic ones, which reduces the looseness of the structure and improves fit to the glass. It should be noted that the plastic behaves better at minus temperature and freezes less. Buy janitors in Odessa, Kharkov and Kiev can be at 130.com.ua with delivery across Ukraine.

For the cold season, specially designed winter frame wipers. The bottom line is that the whole frame is hidden in a frost-resistant rubber case, which also protects the metal parts of the device from moisture, which means that it prolongs its service life.

Advice to motorists. With the onset of autumn, it is necessary to replace the water in the washers with a special non-freezing liquid. In the selection process, attention should be paid to its composition. The use of methanol in a liquid for car washes is prohibited by law and is dangerous for human health. Pay attention to the quality of the package, the transparency and color of the preparation, since counterfeits are very common.

Frame wipers are much cheaper than their frameless brothers. It should also be noted that most car owners replace only the rubber band itself, it also reduces the cost of maintenance of janitors. The main thing, in pursuit of cheapness, do not miss the moment of loosening of the frame, otherwise the device can fail you at the most inopportune moment.

Frameless wipers

Frameless wipers do not have hinges and rockers, instead there is a steel plate that repeats the windshield bends and the spring system inside the device. Thanks to this system, the wiper blade evenly spans the entire length. In addition, the lightweight design improves the aerodynamic properties of the wipers and increases visibility.

As for the winter use of frameless wiper blades, the low exposure to icing combined with the use of high-quality frost-resistant rubber with various sputtering makes this kind of wipers really all-weather. A higher price pays off for a long period of operation - 10-12 months against 3-4 for conventional wipers.

Most manufactured frameless janitors have a wear indicator, which will change its color when a brush change is necessary.

Of the disadvantages should be noted the high cost, as well as the need for a strict selection of the wiper blade in accordance with the model of auto, that is, there is no universality.

Advice to motorists. To increase the service life of rubber bands, you can lubricate them once a month with special lubricants.

Heated janitors

Quickly cope with the icing of the windshield will help heated janitors. In its essence, it is a folding polyester plate with a heating element. This plate is attached to the inside of the windshield at the parking place of the windshield wipers. Warmup of the wiper zone quickly leads them into combat readiness even in frost. And also prevents the icing of anchorages during the movement of the car, keeps the performance of the eraser cleaner at low temperatures.

The alternative method of heating should include winter heated wipers. Their design provides a heating element hidden inside the wiper casing, and the wires going either to the cigarette lighter socket or to the battery are hidden under the lead. Thus, the brush is heated not only in the rest zone, but a certain temperature is constantly maintained, sufficient for melting the ice.
