Wipers are an important part of cars. They can provide drivers with a clear line of sight in rainy and snowy weather and ensure driving safety. However, the wiper will also experience problems such as wear, aging, and deformation as the use time increases, which will affect its cleaning effect and even scratch the windshield. Therefore, we need to inspect and replace the wiper regularly to maintain its good working condition. I bought my 2022 Audi A4L in June last year. I have been using it for a year. When the wiper is working, water marks are left on the glass. Just in time for the June 18 promotion activities of various e-commerce platforms in 2023, I bought a pair of suitable wipers on a certain Dongshang and prepared to replace them myself.
There are two ways to replace the wiper: 1. Buy an adapter wiper at an auto parts store or online, and then install it yourself or have a third-party store install it. This method is affordable, but it requires the owner to have certain hands-on skills. 2. Buy the original wiper at a 4S shop and install it. This method is slightly more expensive, but it saves time and effort.
The steps to replace the wiper are as follows: 1. Remove the old wiper. Turn off the ignition switch and tap the lever downward within 5 seconds to move the wiper to the service position. Or turn on the ignition switch and turn on the MMI screen to select vehicle-Settings-Service Set the wiper replacement position to ON. Lift up the wiper, press the wiper buckle, pull out the wiper blade, and remove the old wiper blade. 2. Install a new wiper. Align the hole on the wiper arm and insert a new wiper blade until you see the buckle pop out automatically. Open the MMI screen to select Vehicle-Settings-Service Set the wiper replacement position to Off. The new wiper has been installed. 3. Clean the windshield. Use a rag to dip it in some glass water to wipe off the dirt and dust on the windshield. Then, use a new wiper to wipe the windshield again to remove residual water stains and stains.
The above is the car operation of replacing the wiper. This process can not only train our hands-on skills, but also save some car maintenance costs. Of course, when replacing the wiper, we should also pay attention to safety to avoid being cut by the wiper blade or injured by the popping wiper arm. At the same time, when purchasing a new wiper, you should also pay attention to selecting products that are of good quality and suitable for your own model to avoid unnecessary trouble.
