Common mistakes when choosing and replacing wipers

Even experienced drivers sometimes make mistakes that lead to poor windshield wiper performance. Here are the most common of them:

• ❌ Size mismatch. Wipers that are longer or shorter than standard ones do a worse job of cleaning the edge of the glass or touching the seals.
• ❌ Ignoring fastening type. For example, trying to install a brush with push-button on the hook U-hook without adapter.
• ❌ Buying cheap wipers without a brand. Such brushes often creak and do not last more than a season.
• ❌ Replacement of only one brush. If you change the left wiper, be sure to change the right one too - they wear out equally.

Another mistake - using wipers in winter without first clearing the glass of ice. This leads to rubber deformation and shortens the life of the brushes. In cold weather, it is better to first remove the ice with a scraper and then turn on the windshield wipers.

⚠️ Attention: If the wipers leave streaks after replacing them, check to see if they are reversed. Left and right wipers on Note E11 are not interchangeable - they have different curvatures.
