Main Components of a Car Wiper
Car window wipers are essential for maintaining clear visibility during rainy or dusty conditions. Understanding their main components can help you identify potential issues and perform basic maintenance at home.
1. Wiper Arm
Usually made of metal, the wiper arm transfers the movement from a reciprocating electric motor to the wiper blade, allowing it to sweep across the windshield.
2. Connector
This part links the wiper blade to the wiper arm. Using the correct type of connector ensures smooth and secure blade operation.
3. Spring Flexors
These flexors keep even pressure and consistent contact between the rubber blade and the windshield, improving wiping performance.
4. Rubber Element
Made from natural rubber or chloroprene for flexibility, this part contacts the window. It often features a special coating with graphite powder to reduce friction. The rubber element is prone to wear and tear due to exposure to sunlight and weather, even when not in use.
5. Wiper Spoiler
An aerodynamic component installed on some front wipers to reduce wind lift during high speeds, improving blade handling and performance.
Conclusion
Knowing the main parts of your car’s wiper system helps you maintain it better and spot issues early, ensuring your windshield stays clear and your driving safe in all weather conditions.
