Wiper arms are used to move the wipers across the windscreen. The arm is typically installed on the driver's side and is attached to the drive link using screws and a cam. Some automobile models use pantograph arms while others use standard arms. These vehicles often have wider windscreens and require shorter wiper arms than cars with shallow windshields. Fortunately, there are a number of different designs available. Here are some important tips to make your car's wipers more effective:
A windshield wiper consists of a metal arm and a long rubber blade. The arm is powered by a motor, usually an electric motor, although some vehicles may use pneumatic power instead. The motor swivels the blade back and forth across the glass, and is adjustable for speed on vehicles made after 1969. Generally, two synchronized radial arms are used on personal automobiles. Many commercial vehicles use pantograph arms to ensure a proper wiper function.
A wiper has two main types of blades, a fixed wiper and a reversible one. The first type is made of a flexible rubber. The other type is made of plastic. The latter is less durable than the former. Both types are used on the same vehicle. Some are easier to install than others. A rotary wiper is not only easier to install, but it also requires less maintenance. It's also easier to remove and replace than a regular windshield.
