The Optimum Wipers Are Good In Summer And Winter.
By CruiseDirector | July 23, 2010
If you hail in a region of the earth where winter prevails you have surely seen by now that wiper blades ability can reduce drastically during the cold winter months and show a marked improvement in warmer weather. The reason for this is simple, the rubber on the wiper blades has a inclination to freeze in cold temperatures and become very tough and rigid, without the natural flex of the rubber the wiper blades cannot shape itself to the contours of the wind screen and the consequence is severely distorted performance. They usually just end up wiping relatively small patches of the wind screen which the driver then has to peer through as they drive perilously along the road toward their inevitable Day of Judgment. So what? You may be thinking but this is highly irresponsible what happens if you run over a small child or even worse an animal, like a cute little squirrel with big cartoon eyes and a bushy tail. You’ve all viewed the Disney channel where the adventurous mongoose and his band of stereotyped characters step out on to the high way in order to find a new home or some such nonsense. Well without wiper blades just account how that movie would end? The cute little guys would be atrociously culled in an act of hideous depravity, blood and guts every where, oh the horror. Sometimes there are other dangers out there related to starting your car on cold winter mornings, sometimes the wiper blades can become frozen fixed to the wind screen and when turned on they are ripped off from the arms.
Even worse than breaking your wiper blade you can badly damage the internal mechanism of the wiper blade arm and you will find yourself being charged a huge bill by some lunatic mechanic who normally over charges people like you, how else would this guy put his kids through college and you don’t want that, you don’t want to be subsidising the accomplishments of his offspring, not on my watch chief. Other less interesting consequences of using different wiper blade in the low temp is that you will no doubt be forced to use an anti freeze in your washer fluid.
The problem with this solution is the chemicals in the anti freeze will both generate you cancer and make your replacement wiper blades rot quite quickly. So what is a guy to do? Another aspect of the dreaded big freeze is that the low temp will cause the joints in the mechanical arm to contract and seize up, when summer comes around these joints will then expand in the summer sun and the mechanical arm will no longer work properly. It will be forever out of accommodation and you will never have the humble joy of clean wind screens ever again, not in your life time anyway. Another afterthought of all this replacement wiper blades bending is that the replacement wiper blades will tend to make a lot of sound and shake about when in use. This is probably the most annoying manifestation of windscreen wipers rot and needs to be avoided at all costs.
