Wiping the glass clean with Volkswagen Wiper Blade
Windscreen wipers (commonly called windshield wipers) are devices that is used to wipe rain and dirt from the surface of a windscreen. All vehicles are fitted with wipers, as demanded by law. Wipers are made up of an arm, which pivots on one end, and a long rubber blade attached to the other end. The blade glides across the glass and pushes water away from the glass surface. The wiper blade speed is normally adjustable and depends on the flow of water or the amount of dirt on the glass surface. Most automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses use one or two pantograph arms.
Extensive use of your Volkswagen wiper blades can be dangerous, as they are prone to breakage and deterioration. 90% of driving decisions are based on a clear, unobstructed view of the road, so it is a critical safety concern that your Volkswagen wiper blades are in tiptop condition. Ozone, airborne contaminants, oil, sunlight, and dirt are some of the factors that can weaken your Volkswagen wiper blades. These can reduce your Volkswagen wiper blades' ability to give you an unobstructed view. Prolonged exposure to sunlight and ozone can cause your wiper blades to age and crack, even if they are not used much. Weather conditions can also weaken the wiper blades. Freezing conditions can harden the rubber blades and make them brittle and susceptible to cracking or tearing. Hot weather conditions can reshape the wiper blades, preventing the blades from wiping your windshield cleanly.
Heavy wiper use is hard on the blades because dust, abrasives, road grime and even bug juice can wear away blade edges. Road dirt even acts as an abrasive, wearing away the flat surface necessary for that good squeegee effect.Rubber blades deteriorates over time. When blades age, they lose their flexibility, so they are less able to wipe cleanly. Warped blades develop curves or sets, preventing them from contacting fully with the surface.
Your blades' ability to clean the glass depends on:
- The slope and area of the windshield: Today's windshields are more sloped than ever before for improved aerodynamics. But a sleek "cab-forward" windshield with a lot of glass area directs more wind against the wipers, which can force the blades away from the glass at high speeds unless the wiper system is designed to resist lift.
- The amount of spring tension on the wiper arm: This is important to keep the wiper in tight contact with the windshield and provide a superior squeegee effect.
- The number of pressure points or claws holding the blade: The more claws a blade has, the broader the area over which the pressure of the wiper arm is spread. More claws also provide increased flexibility so the blade can easily follow the curves on a large, sloping windshield for full side-to-side contact.
- The material used in the blade itself: Most wiper blades are made of natural rubber, but some of the newer performance blades have a composite structure that combines a soft, pliable rubber on the squeegee surface for good wiping characteristics, and a firm rubber in the blade body for improved support and durability.
The unique blend of halogen-hardened natural rubber compound also reduces windshield "chatter" and lengthens Volkswagen wiper blade life by reducing fatigue attributed to abrasion, temperature extremes, UV, ozone, acid rain and road salt. Plus, the wiping edge is precision-cut to 0.010mm (10/1000mm) to remove even the smallest micro-droplets of airborne moisture.
