Are your wipers knocking? Check out what to do about it

Autumn and winter rains or snowfalls are not a pleasure for drivers. Driving is more difficult and you have to be much more careful not to cause a collision. However, there is a situation when driving a car in the worst conditions is not only less pleasant, but simply turns into a nightmare. This is what happens when the wipers leave stripes and squeak. Firstly, little can be seen through the glass, which can have serious consequences, especially at night. Secondly, such a ride is just annoying. The squeak every time the feathers move across the glass can drive you crazy.

Ways to get your wipers dirty

What to do with the janitors who did not pass the exam? An article on this topic can be found on Moto.pl. The first of the tips is banal … and very often this method turns out to be the most effective. Just wipe the wiper blades. This can be done with your hands or with a tissue. After cleaning from ice particles or dirt, the situation should improve.

The second method requires a little more work. “The squeaking can be caused by improperly positioning the wiper arm so that the rubber moves across the glass at the correct angles and so that when the motion changes from top to bottom, the wiper rubber has the necessary play to switch to the other side,” it was written. What to do if it turns out that the problem lies in this issue? Moto.pl explains: “Remove the wiper from the lever and then insert a flat wrench into its latch. The arm should be slightly bent to one side in order to set it in the correct position. The correct position is one in which a right angle is created between the latch and the glass.

Wipers should also be changed regularly.

You may find that clearing or fixing settings won’t help. Then it is worth investing in new - preferably branded - wipers. Don’t forget to make sure the optimum arm length for your vehicle. New wipers are inexpensive and can greatly improve both driving comfort and safety.
