Causes of ineffective car wipers

Ineffective windshield wipers can cause drivers to have blurred vision or have to deal with annoying noises from the wipers. Here are some of the reasons why your windshield wipers may not work effectively.

Worn wiper blades

Worn wiper blades are one of the reasons why wipers work less effectively. When the wiper blades are found to be worn, brittle and damaged, the car owner needs to replace them to ensure safety when traveling.

Wiper motor not working

Car wipers not working can be caused by internal motor failure due to short circuit or burn out.

Dirty windshield

A dirty windshield makes the wipers work harder. This constant overloading reduces the life of the wipers and makes them less effective.

Therefore, you should always clean the glass before starting the wiper. This not only protects the windshield and wiper, but also ensures safety and operating performance.

Cracked windshield

A cracked windshield will cause the wipers to operate less effectively. Therefore, when you see any signs of chipping on your windshield, you need to repair and fix it soon. This helps ensure visibility and protects the durability of the wipers.

Dry glass cleaning

Wipers tend to have a harder time working on a dry windshield surface. Spraying water also creates a lubricant that helps the wipers work easily and effectively.

Using substandard windshield washer fluid

Normal water, water mixed with soap or dishwashing liquid are not suitable, they cannot clean the glass and also corrode the windshield. Therefore, car owners should choose a specialized windshield washer fluid for maximum efficiency.
