AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE PERFECT WIPER BLADE FOR YOUR CAR
Thinking of changing your car’s windscreen wiper blade? Wiper blades come in a multitude of different shapes and sizes. When used for a long period of time, wiper blades may become loose and the rubber finishing may tear, leaving unwanted marks and smears on your windscreen. This may affect your driving experience and safety on the road.
Recommended by professionals to be changed periodically, finding the right wiper blade for your car may be a first for many. To ensure that you find a suitable wiper for your vehicle, here are some tips on choosing the perfect wiper blade.
Finding the proper fit
With so many vehicle models, determining the right fit for your car may be challenging. Start by looking at your vehicle manual. It should tell you what size wiper blades you need for the front and rear. Take note that some vehicles have different size requirements for the driver and passenger side, so be sure to look at the manual closely!
Another simple way is to measure the wiper blades that are currently on your car. Use a tape measure to measure the length along the rubber wiper edge. You could allow for a leeway of 2 centimetres at most. If you leave it any longer, your wiper blades will bump into each other, leading to damage to your windscreen and wiper blades.
Choosing the right materials
Quality materials make for quality wiper blades. Despite the popularity of silicone wiper blades, rubber blades are your best bet. Rubber edges guarantee flexibility and the blade is able to adopt different angles as it glides across the windscreen. Rubber blades are also durable, creating minimal squeaking or smearing.
Silicone blades however, are known to be more efficient and typically last 12 -18 months. For the best of both worlds, Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades are made with dual rubber, containing both materials. This ensures a quality blade which enhances durability in wet weather and prolongs deterioration.
Choosing the right wiper blade
With so many wiper blades on the market, where should you start? Now that you know the perfect fit and materials you’re looking for, it’s time to figure out how to select an effective wiper blade. A streamlined, beamed wiper blade is highly sought after for its sleek design. Its build also allows it to glide smoothly across your windshield. Additionally, it is quiet and effective at removing water while applying pressure along the wiper blade.
The curvature of the wiper is also a key point in deciding the perfect wiper blade for your car. A curved rubber squeegee at the edge of the wiper blade ensures an efficient and effective clean for better visibility in the rain. Moreover, UV and heat resistant wiper blades allow for longer service life.
