Take a picture of the car first.
1: highlight: this replacement is lossless and will not damage the original wiper tape. The forum has seen the replacement of car users, many of which will damage the original tape.
2: the advantage of not damaging the original wiper tape:
The riders who change for the first time and those who buy the tape for the first time may be even worse than the original one because they don’t know the effect of changing it. At this time, if the original tape is damaged, they can only buy a pair of wipers (the price of consulting 4S store last time is 248 yuan). If the original tape is not damaged, just reload it.
3: matters needing attention for lossless change of adhesive strips, adhesive strips and both sides of the buckle and the middle bracket all have a direction, we must pay attention to, you can first take photos when the convenient clothes are compared.
4: only a pair of tiger pliers is needed for the tools used.

The original factory wiper was used for more than two years, during which it was found that the wiper was not clean when it was polished twice. When I went home during the National Day, it rained and found that it had seriously affected the safety of driving. It was suspected that it was the problem of oil film. The cleaning effect of the glass oil film was still not good. It should be the problem of wiper, and it was not meaningful to polish it again, so I decided to replace the wiper tape. Wiper tape was bought in April, a car friend gave the link 8 yuan two pairs of tape, listen to the car friend said the effect is OK.

5: replacement process

First, remove the wiper and put it on the table. The tools are ready.

(just use ordinary pliers. Mine is a special clamp for repairing zippers.)

The fixed buckle position can be deducted gently by hand, the short one and the long one.

At the end of the wiper, pull the tape out with a little force from your hand.

As long as you pull it out a little bit, you can pull it all the way to the middle support with a little force in the back.


The other side is also operated in this way, and then press the supporting steel heads on both sides to the middle with your hands, and the plug can be removed.
After the plug on both sides is removed, the adhesive strip can be easily taken out, and then press the supporting steel bar to the middle, the support will be separated from the supporting steel bar, and a wiper will be disassembled.

The other is also the same mode of operation, here is no longer described, pay attention to the process of pulling tape do not use force, will tear glue, strength from small to large uniform speed to add force.
The following is the process of assembly, assembly should pay attention to the direction.
Take out the tape you bought first, for a total of two payments. One is long and the other is short.

Take out the tape you bought first, for a total of two payments. One is long and the other is short.

Compared with the old and new tape, the original one is softer.

The color is also a little different, the original black bought a little silver gray, the original part of the worn tape in contact with the glass has obviously narrowed.

The new tape is placed on the table and the supporting steel strip is placed on the strip. Note that there are three slots on the strip and put it into the slot near the big bevel. It can’t be misplaced.

The middle gap of the supporting steel bar should be in the middle of the adhesive strip gap, and the two steel bar notches should be on the same line.

Install one end of the plug, pay attention to the direction of both sides of the plug, the slope of the tape is the same as the plug, otherwise it can not be installed.

Push hard and you’ll be in place.

The other side is operated in the same way, the plug is installed first. Install the plug and then install the wiper support in the middle.

Pay attention to the aspect at this time, the slope of the tape is consistent with the slope of the groove inside the support, buckle one side first.

Note that the buckle of the support is located in the clamping position of the steel bar.

Clamp the steel bar with pliers and put the support in place with a little force.

Install the fastening buckle

The two wipers operate in the same way, and the job is done.

If you install a wiper, everyone can do it, so you won’t talk about it.

Car washing under the scraping test, the effect is very obvious, the glass is very clean, successful! The whole process takes about 20 hours.
4 yuan + 20 minutes (do-it-yourself) = 248 yuan + 4 hours (go to 4S store)
