When choosing, you need to consider the following criteria: type of wipers, brush length, mounting method and material. Neither should you neglect replacing the wipers. As they wear out, the cleaning of the glass becomes worse and worse.
The main types of car wipers
There are three main types of car wipers - wireframe, frameless, and hybrid. Metal framed universal wipers are usually only used during the summer. Frameless all-season wipers are a special rubber plate. True, they are suitable only for certain brands of cars.
Interestingly, hybrid wipers combine a frame structure and a spoiler. In terms of their quality and service life, such wipers will be the best option for any car. True, their cost is quite high.
Criteria for choosing the right car wipers
If you are looking for wipers, then they should be the same length as the ones that were originally on the car. Some people mistakenly believe that the quality of the wipers depends on the length of the brush. This is not at all the case. If the wipers are too long, the pressure on the glass will decrease and the cleaning performance will noticeably deteriorate. Few consumers are aware of this.

Therefore, when choosing car wipers according to the material of manufacture, it is extremely important to consider your financial capabilities. Also, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the type of attachment of the wipers. There are models with a universal mount. And other wipers are limited to being able to attach only to certain vehicles. For example, frameless wipers are characterized by a specific and adapted universal mount. It is best to remove old wipers from your car before buying. This will make it much easier to select the mount. You just buy wipers with a similar mount.
True, there are also special adapters suitable for attaching any wipers to different car models. They allow you to select wipers regardless of the type of attachment.
