How to maintain soft wiper blades ?
Here are the methods for maintaining soft wiper blades:
1. Regular cleaning: Use mild detergent and water to clean the wiper blades regularly. Gently wipe the blade surface with a soft cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris to prevent scratches on the glass.
2. Inspect for damage: Regularly check the wiper blades for signs of wear, cracks, or deformities. If any damage is found, the wiper blades should be replaced in a timely manner.
3. Avoid dry wiping: Do not use the wiper blades to wipe the dry windshield, as this will accelerate the wear of the blades. Make sure there is enough windshield washer fluid to keep the windshield wet when using the wipers.
4. Park properly: When parking the vehicle in the open air, try to park in a shaded area to avoid the wiper blades being exposed to the sun for a long time, which can cause the rubber to age and harden. In winter, it is best to lift the wiper blades to prevent them from freezing to the windshield.
5. Use correctly: Do not use excessive force when operating the wiper switch to avoid damaging the wiper motor and transmission mechanism. Also, do not use the wiper blades to clear snow or ice on the windshield. Use a snow scraper first to remove the bulk of the snow and ice, and then use the wipers with the windshield washer fluid.
