How do window wiper blades work?
Throughout thousands of miles of driving, your car's windshield is exposed to all the elements of Burbank's roads. From extreme heat to rain, dust, tree sap, and more, all these contaminants accumulate in layers, eventually impacting visibility through your windshield in negative ways.
Window wipers are designed to remove grime, dirt, and water from your car's most important areas to maintain the best possible visibility and ensure safety for yourself and others on the road.
Signs that my windshield wipers need replacement:
Over time, theconstant movement of the wiper blade across the windshield causes wear and tear to the rubber that comes in contact with all the contaminants mentioned above. Particularly for California, Los Angeles, and Burbank drivers, excessive heat while not using the wiper blades can cause premature deterioration of the rubber blades leading to performance loss and signs of wear and tear which are listed below
- blurriness
- streaking
- chattering
- skipping sounds
- worn appearance
- reduced performance
If you notice blurriness or streaking on your windshield after using your window wipers, they are no longer removing contaminants effectively and require replacement. In addition, unusual noises such as chattering or skipping indicate worn-out wiper blades that should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid a lack of visibility.
Types of wiper blades:
1. Conventional Blades: The most used wiper blade design among all makes & models that you have probably seen before. It consists of a metal frame with an attached rubber blade that clicks into the wiper blade arm assembly of your car. Most notably, they are affordable and easy to find in various sizes, however, their metal frame distributes pressure on the rubber blades on only four to eight points causing ineffective wiping performance from time to time. The more evenly pressure is spread on your wiper blades the better!
2. Beam Blades: Beam blades come on most newer cars and offer a solid rubber connection contouring the wiper blade to the curvature of your windshield without metal frames. While this greatly improves pressure points across the span of the windshield, drivers using beam blades also benefit from increased durability and performance. On the downside, they tend to be a little pricier than conventional wiper blades.
3. Hybrid Blades: A combination of the two types mentioned above. They feature metal frames with the contour of beam rubber blades attached. This combination helps distribute even pressure across the entire span of the rubber blade allowing reliable performance in all weather conditions. Priced in between conventional and beam blades, you get the best of both worlds with better performance and improved longevity at a lower price point.
