Cars Corporation: "Driving on rainy days is nerve-wracking and tiring..." The biggest reason for this feeling is probably the poor visibility.
Do you have sticky rain on your windshield or white streaks left behind by your wipers? Poor visibility is not just stressful, it's the biggest risk factor for serious accidents.
This time, we will explain the appeal of "high-performance wipers" that not only wipe away water but also maintain the beauty of your car's style while protecting your safety, and the signs that they should be replaced.
1. Have your wipers reached the end of their life?
Wiper blades are parts that wear out daily due to ultraviolet rays, heat, and friction. Generally, it is recommended to replace them "once a year."
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's a warning sign:
-
Uneven wiping or streaks remain: The rubber has deteriorated or deformed.
-
Vibrating sound (rattling sound): The rubber has hardened or an oil film has formed on it.
-
Cannot wipe completely: The spring (pressing force) of the blade body has weakened.
2. What is different about "high-performance wipers"?
The "high-performance wipers (design wipers/flat wipers)" that have recently been attracting attention are a departure from the traditional tournament-style wipers with exposed metal.
[Beauty: Refined Aerodynamic Form] Modern cars have smooth body lines. A bulky wiper would look out of place, but high-performance wipers are covered with an aerodynamic cover that takes air resistance into consideration. This creates a sleek and stylish appearance and reduces wind noise at high speeds. It also gives your car's front end a more luxurious look.
Furthermore, the aerodynamic effect increases the pressing effect against the glass surface at high speeds, resulting in stable wiping.
[Safety: Water-Repellent Coating] Many high-performance models use water-repellent silicone rubber. Simply wiping the wipers creates a water-repellent coating on the glass, turning rain into droplets and blasting it away. This provides clear visibility even on heavy rainy days, dramatically reducing driving fatigue.
3. Clear visibility is the best safety equipment
You may think that wipers are just a thing, but ensuring visibility on rainy days is the best safety equipment that can prevent accidents before even the latest safety brakes.
