Windshield wipers are special devices for removing droplets of dirt and water from car windows. They are also used for aircrafts, ships and trains. The choice of wipers is influenced by many factors such as curvature of the glass, year of manufacture of the vehicle, climatic conditions, size of wipers, fastening mechanisms, etc. Below are some guidelines for choosing wiper blades.
Instructions
Step 1
Before buying a wiper, use the manufacturer's catalog, where you can find the exact correspondence of the wiper numbers to a specific car model. The dimensions of the brushes must be checked against the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
Step 2
Pay attention to the declared temperatures for which the wipers are intended to work, if you buy winter brushes, then choose them in accordance with ours, not European climatic conditions. You should be especially careful when purchasing all-season windshield wipers. Refer to the manufacturer's catalog. If it contains a winter version of the same model, most likely the lower temperature limit for the all-season version is 15 degrees.
Step 3
Do not buy brushes unless they come with attachments or adapters for your car's leash. It is not recommended to use homemade fasteners.

The quality of the wipers is greatly reduced if the glass has cracks or scratches on its surface, which are visible in the light of oncoming headlights. In such conditions, the wiper blades will wear out quickly.
Step 5
The quality of the washer fluid also affects the performance and durability of the brushes; you must carefully choose this product as well.
