CARNAMA - Episode 02 - Wipers


Episode 2 - CARNAMA

So, as it gets foggy now a days (in Dubai), let's talk about something which is very necessary to function when driving in a Fog. The car Wipers !

Wipers are meant to use for cleaning up the front glass (windshield) incase of obstruction to clear visibility. In some cars there are also rear wipers (SUVs etc). In high-end cars, you may find headlight wipers too (helps in cleaning dirt from the headlamps and increase the illumination on the road ahead).
...
Most wiper blades are made of natural rubber, but with newer technology someleading brands have now started using a composite structure for better performance.

Wiper rubber deteriorates over time and requires replacement. Because your driving decisions are based on a clear, unobstructed view of the road, it's a critical safety concern that your car's wipers provide you with the cleanest windshield possible. Weather also plays a critical role in your windshield wiper blades' deterioration. Freezing temperatures make the rubber in your wiper blades hard and brittle, which increases their tendency to crack or tear. Hot weather warps the rubber and prevents the blade from wiping your windshield cleanly

Avoid using the wipers on dry glass surface. Always ensure the sprinkler is having sufficient water. There are also special cleaning solutions available in shops, which clean the glass surface even better.

So check the conditions of your car wiper blades today and replace if damaged. Enjoy your drive in safe conditions !
