Changes in the weather pose new challenges for many road users, especially if their wiper blades are in poor condition.
Inadequate wiper blades can be dangerous to drivers on the road if they reduce their safe field of vision.
Symptoms
- Narrow streaking on the windshield is caused by dirt or the wearing down of the blade edge and if this persists after cleaning, the blade should be replaced immediately.
- A wiper blade stuttering across the screen or making an audible noise is another sign of blade degradation; if the problem persists after cleaning, the wiper blade should be replaced immediately.
- If wiper blades leave dirt on the windshield, then it is likely the rubber attached to the wiper has degraded and will need immediate replacement with a new blade.
- A wiper blade unevenly touching the windscreen whilst wiping means the blade arm is likely to be bent or out of shape and means immediate replacement is needed.
Choosing a quality replacement part is an excellent way to maximise and gain a reputation for great customer service.
DENSO’s hybrid blades feature a rigid graphite coated rubber blade helps deliver a smooth, non-streak clean; its vertebrae support superior surface-holding capabilities, ensuring a smooth wiper motion.
Nick Thomas, product manager at DENSO sales UK, commented: “The autumn months can be very tricky for motorists, with unpredictable weather causing havoc on sensitive, easily-worn equipment.
“High quality replacement wiper blades provide an excellent opportunity for workshops to promote better safety for their customers, and increase their sales in the process.”
