Protecting Wiper this Summer

[yebo]

yun nga yun wiper ups hehehe! di ko po kasi na-read post nyo sir sheep, sabay yata tayo kasi nag-post.

yung silicone wipers sa concorde ko nabili nuon, ewan ko ngayon kung meron pa. color blue yun binili ko (blue kasi car) pero may ibang colors like green, red, yellow. try nyo na lang hanapin sa concorde. P650 per set kuha ko dati (sale sila nuon).

why not just use old news paper in narrow but thick sheets to lift it a bit? I think it would be a lot cheaper.

[theveed]

that's what I do Hero, hehe mga parking ticket na rinorollyo...

[Hero33]

haha thrifty minds think alike! haha or we could use "economically minded in the dispersment of financial assets" haha basta wag lang CHEAP bwahahahhah

nasisira ba ung ung wiper rubber pag nabibilad sa araw?

hindi na kasi maganda ung kayod ng wiper ko e.

ano ba magandang solusyon para dito?

[non-vtec]

what i do is i apply armor all to the rubber. it cleans and softens the rubber.

[Supierreman]

nabasa ko napost yata ni theveed noon armor all on your wipers puro streaks yan pag ginamit mo sa ulan

[theveed]

non-vtec, i believe nasa label mismo not to put it sa wiper blades, it smears like there's no tomorrow hehe...

pepengtom: you should replace your blades 2x a year regardless of usage, natural rubber especially will dry up and stiffen regardless whether you use it or not. Keeping the wiper suspended (like wiper up or singit-ng-papel) minimizes windshield scratches as well since dust and particles won't settle onto the blade. During your first "wipe" lahat na nakapatong sa blade kakayod sa windshield.

Speaking of which, our 88 Maxima dati high tech talaga, pag naka off yung wipers, automatic naka angat yung buong arm :D

Theveed, did I read it right? Twice a year wiper replacement. I used to buy Bosch Wiper, 2x per year din ba ito. I haven't seen it mentioned in car manual to replace the wiper that often. Anyway, thanks for the information, this might be minor car parts that we usually overlook.

[theveed]

FM: Once or 2x a year is often recommended. Dumi kasi satin talaga eh.. Ako I usually stick an old set of wipers during hot months, then put in a new one pag rainy season ulit hehe... kuripot. At least once a year dapat.

Basic rule, as long as it doesn't wipe the glass totally dry and clean, replace them.
