Pulling away the wiper from the windshield?

[dhisky]

Another noob question guys!

Why? is it necessary lalo pag matagal kang mag ppark?

[paulomik]

extreme heat from the windshield causes the rubber wipers to crack and harden, thereby significantly shortening yung service life ng wipers.

[BratPAQ]

It's either rubber ng wiper vs spring ng wiper. Pag inangat mo hahaba life ng rubber pero mababatak yung spring, pag lumuwag yung spring di na ganon ka diin sa pag wipe, darating sa point na mag skip na sya. Kung hinayaan mo naman nakadikit sa salamin, madali mag crack yung rubber.

Edi pangit din pala mag lagay ng wiper ups? So pipili ka lang ng lesser evil, goma or spring.

Question, pano pala medyo nag skip na ung wiper namin ung sa may left side na part pag nasa loob ka ng sasakyan?

A good pair of wipers ups will last you long

I had mine for more than 2 years now and the spring is still robust

:D

I've owned and maintained several vehicles for 30 years. Replaced a set of wipers only once in my Revo over 12years, never doing that wiper lift thing.

That's a load of crap. You're even endangering the integrity of not only the spring, but the wiper arm pivot just beneath the hood. And that's a very expensive part

I'm with newcomer. It's unnecessary to pull it up. You'll have to change it anyway eventually...

[cityfolk]

Iba reason ko for doing the wiper pull up. I park in an area where lots of construction is going on around the place. Pagbalik ko sa sasakyan sa hapon napakaalikabok ng sasakyan. Makapal yung naiipon na alikabok sa pagitan ng wiper at windshield. Kapag hindi mo napansin at ginamit mo yung wiper ayun parang na-sandpaper ang windshield sa unang pahid ng wiper.

kahit sa mga covered carpark may nakikita akong nakataas yun wiper

[indiej]

it acts as an antenna transmitting the car owner's silliness. better clip on wiper stands.

IMO those wiper stands are silly creations. just creates an annoying slap on your windshield everytime you use your wipers, or when the wipers decide to deploy on their own. hee hee

even promotes rusting on the wiper arm where you install them.

BTT: i pull away the wipers from the windshield when the vehicle is parked for a while here at home. only because it becomes a dust collector.

It means hindi pa bayad yun nagpa carwash sa mall. Thats their way of signalling co washers.

Para sa dumi yan, especially pag nasa lugar na mabuhangin. Sisingit yung buhangin sa wiper at pag ginamit mo then gasgas ang windshield mo. You may not see the consequence immediately but definitely it builds up until it becomes very noticeable. Minsan mabibigla ka na lang kasi umuulan at makita mo may guhit na ng water sa windshield kahit bago pa ang wiper blades mo.

As for the spring getting stretched, kalokohan yan. Para namang hindi nagaral ng engineering yung nag design ng wiper ano? Lahat ng springs may elastic limit. Ang bobo naman nung design engineer kung nagdesign siya ng wiper na ma-exeed yung elastic limit nung spring kung iangat mo lang yung arm. I am sure the spring will not even come close to its elastic limit when the wiper arm is raised. At alam na alam naman na iaangat mo ang arm pag naglilinis ng kotse o kung magpapalit ng wiper blade. More than 100 years na gumagawa ng kotse alam na nila yan.

I agree with yebo on the springs, di naman mabilis masira ang springs ng wiper arm, I only replace the blades on my 15 year old ride, never the springs because they're A-Okay.

[Newcomer123]

Pag maalikabok, either pagpagan ko ng duster at pitikin ang wiper blades sa salamin para mahulog ang mga dumi, o kung galing sa ulan o tilamsik, yung washer naman. Masagana sa tubig hanggang mawala ang putik.

Hindi pa rin dahilan magtaas ng arm. Ginagawa ko lang yan kung magpap alt ng blade. Ni wala nga yan sa manual na magtaas habang naka park.

Kayo din, basta nasabi ko na marupok na metal lang yung pivot sa ilaim nyang wiper arm. Wag lang maaksidenteng mabungi yun, kundi lipad mga 7 mil ninyo

Like any rubber component, wiper blades are wear and tear consumable items that will eventually age whether you use it or not. It won't matter if it's lifted or left kissing the windshield, it wil still age. If it's under the sun a lot, it will age faster. It does have UV inhibitors but they too, expire eventually.

If you see water streaks when you use the wipers, chances are, they just need to be changed.

Wiper blades are cheap to replace... and you only have to replace them every 2-3 years for best performance.

tinataas lang yan pag winter kasi nagpifreeze yan with the windshield. dyan siguro nakuha yong idea nong mga nagtataas ng arm. kaya lang wala naman tayong winter kaya useless ang ginagawa nila. napakamura ng wiper blade compare sa masisave mo kung totoo ngang naprolong ang life sa pagtaas ng arm plus the hassle of doing it everytime. add the fact na hindi designed ang arm na nakataas for long time. baka in the end mas napamahal ka pa kesa makatipid.

Merun na nabibili wiper stand ata tawag. Ndi mo na kailangan itaas un wiper. Nakapatong un wiper sa stand para ndi mainitan kahit ndi nakataas.
