Our windshield wipers play a huge role in protecting vehicle occupants. However, because of constant changes in outdoor elements, it deteriorates the rubber and silicone squeegees that make our wipers tick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with proper care, the lifespan of our windscreen\/windshield wipers would last an average of six to twelve months. The best practice is to do a check-up every six months and replace your windshield wipers once a year. Lack of proper care can cause the wiper squeegees to harden, and sometimes have rust buildup on the wiper arms themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, here\u2019s how your wipers deteriorate over time and ways to make sure your wipers stay in tip-top condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Our Window Wipers Deteriorate Overtime<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friction in Motion<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27836 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/GettyImages-1393151832-scaled-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever wondered how our rubber erasers turn from a rubber brick to a little ball over time? That\u2019s friction in play. Friction is the bane of all wear and tear, especially on rubber surfaces. Friction also generates heat due to the rubber molecules dragging on the surface. This friction turns into energy, and energy turns into heat during this process. That\u2019s how rubber materials, such as the ones on windshield wipers, get worn out after prolonged usage.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Damages of Sunlight<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27837 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/GettyImages-854509968-scaled-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1684\" \/><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of rubber hardening and crumbling after a prolonged exposure to heat is called Rubber Degradation. This phenomenon is caused by a chain hardening of rubber molecules from sunlight and UV rays. The heat from sunlight dries up any moisture in the rubber squeegee. For a tropical climate like our country, this is a major threat to our windshield wipers as it is mostly sunny in Malaysia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read More: <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.martins-rubber.co.uk\/blog\/what-causes-rubber-to-deteriorate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does sunlight harden rubber<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minerals Inside Rainwater<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27838 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/GettyImages-470447361-scaled-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1810\" \/><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor elements would really further accelerate the wear and tear of your windshield wipers. If you live near an industrial area, the smog and air pollution accumulated in the region eventually will come back down as acid rain. Cars that are frequently parked outside near industrial areas will eventually have many parts corroded. The acidic chemicals in the rainwater will burn and deteriorate the rubber materials in the squeegee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Preserve and Maintain Wipers<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running Wipers on Dry Windshield<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27854 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/bO7RABD6-Untitled-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try not to engage your wipers on a dry windshield. Due to the abrasive nature of rubber and silicone, any slight friction will start wearing out the blades. Furthermore, it makes an awful sound coming from the wipers while driving. At the end of the day, why would you use your wipers during a dry spell anyway?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use WD40 to Clean Up Wiper Blades<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-27845 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-483861468-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1353\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During drives, all sorts of contaminants will accumulate on the windshield wipers. From dust to smog particles, all these will spread on your windshield with a little bit of moisture. A little maintenance with WD40 and dry cloth can help remove residues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you had a father that was a handyman at home, you find this iconic blue spray can of lubricant around the house. WD40 has been eponymous everywhere from household to industrial workshops as a jack of all trades lubricant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by spraying some WD40 on the cloth and grasp the wiper blade firmly. Then, wipe all the grime that is sitting on the wiper and squeegee it out. You\u2019ll notice the cloth turns black from all the excess gunk that is sitting on the wiper blades the whole time. In addition, any leftover WD40 left on the wiper blades is now hydrophobic from the lubrication of the WD40<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch here: <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=daHNfB5INkg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to clean your wiper blades with WD40<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for Rust and Corrosion on the Wiper Arms, Joints, and Claws<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27846 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1372695687-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most automotive manufacturers use aluminum as the industry standard for windshield wipers. While aluminum doesn\u2019t rust easily, it\u2019s still a highly reactive metal. This means that prolonged exposure to UV Rays, acid rain, and other corrosive elements will eventually chew through your windshield wipers just like any other metal over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do check in from time to time on your wiper blades for any paint chipping too. The paint adds another extra layer of protection to the aluminum arms. Get a fresh coat of paint when needed, otherwise, you may have to replace the whole arm due to rust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more: <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/changing-your-wipers-a-small-price-to-pay-for-your-safety#:~:text=A%20Bosch%20Automotive%20Aftermarket%20survey,RM%2080%20%E2%80%93%20RM%20120%20respectively.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing Your Wipers: A Small Price to Pay For Your Safety<\/span><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more: <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/thecraftsmanblog.com\/does-aluminum-rust\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aluminum Isn\u2019t Rust-Proof as You Think<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Park Your Vehicle in the Shade<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27847 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-93066217-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If possible, try to keep your car under a shade.

So, park your vehicle under a tree, a roof, or a basement. Not only can you keep your vehicle cool, but also protect many vital parts of your car from the elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check-In on Wiper Fluid<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27893 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_630754118.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" \/><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget the wiper fluid too!
