1. Reasons for replacement:
Autumn is the season with high incidence of rain. For driving safety in rainy days, the use of wipers is particularly important. The last time I polished the wiper which had been used for several months, there was a strange noise and the wiper was not clean. Compared with the replacement of dozens or even hundreds of yuan wiper, the replacement of wiper tape is more affordable. A pair of wiper tape several yuan, the price of more than ten yuan, very economical. I plan to change the wiper tape myself to cope with the coming rainy season.

Wiper removed and wiper tape purchased online. Let’s talk about the knowledge of rain brush here.
Wipers are generally divided into three types: boneless wipers, boneless wipers and compound wipers.
The principle of bone wiper is to press the wiper blade on the glass through several support points on the skeleton, so that the pressure of each support point on the wiper blade is average, the degree of wear is also average, and it is easy to produce the noise of friction between the wiper blade and the glass. it’s not easy to scrape off impurities.
The boneless wiper blade has no skeleton and is connected to the glass by squeezing the wiper blade with two pieces of steel. The force of each part of the adhesive strip is uniform, and a better scraping effect is achieved. Because there is no metal frame, the boneless wiper is lighter, which reduces the load of the wiper motor and prolongs the life of the motor. (my Lang Yi 2013 has been changed to boneless wipers. )
Compound wiper: it is designed by combining the advantages of boneless wiper and boneless wiper, using embedded skeleton structure and multi-segment diversion cover design. The pressure of each support point between the skeletons is uniform, and the multi-stage diversion cover can effectively reduce the wind resistance, so that the wiper can better fit the glass, strengthen the wiper strength and ensure the clarity of the wiper.

Take out the wiper tape and compare it with the wiper. The long wiper is installed in the main driving position. The short wiper is installed in the copilot position.
Two wiper strips correspond to two wipers. Compare the length and size of the wiper tape you bought.
Prepare to install a short wiper first.
Let’s take a look at the composition of the wiper: two fixed plugs at both ends, a fixed buckle in the middle, and a large square fixed buckle, wiper steel and wiper tape in the middle.
If you want to change the wiper tape, you must first remove the old wiper tape. First remove the retaining buckle from the wiper.
With a little push with your fingernails, the small fastening buckle is removed.
This is the detached fastening buckle.
After removing the fixed buckle, there are traces of the fixed buckle on the wiper.
In the same way, remove another fastening buckle.
Get ready to remove the wiper tape, take out the paper cutter and cut it with a blade on the wiper steel plate.
Cut the wiper tape into two parts with a knife.
The wiper tape is cut into upper and lower parts.
If the middle connection of the wiper tape is cut off, the old folding wiper tape can be removed.
After the wiper tape is removed, start to take the wiper middle rectangle fixed buckle.
Squeeze the wiper steel sheet in with two fingers
The rectangular fixed clasp can be easily removed.
This is the front of the removed rectangular fixed buckle with a code.
This is the back of the rectangular fastening buckle, fixing the soft wiper tape.
This is the wiper steel piece removed, with two small gaps in the middle, which can firmly clip the rectangular buckle together.
This is the old wiper tape and wiper steel piece removed.
A close-up of wiper steel. The wiper steel sheet wears the wiper tape together.
Now start to remove one side of the fixed plug, when removing both sides of the fixed plug are shaken, which loose seriously, which will be removed.
One hand squeezed the wiper steel sheet inward, and the other hand shook outward to pull out the fixed plug.
The fixed plug was removed easily.
The pointed head of wiper steel, take a close-up.
This is a fixed plug removed. Just remove the fixed plug on one side.
2. Installation
We carefully observe the fixed plug on the other side of the wiper steel sheet, which has a diversion direction.
We carefully observe the fixed plug on the other side of the wiper steel sheet, which has a diversion direction.
There is also a diversion direction on the wiper tape.
When the diversion direction of the wiper tape is the same as that of the fixed plug, the wiper tape can be inserted smoothly.
If the direction of diversion is inconsistent, it cannot be inserted, which means you have inserted it backwards.
Insert the wiper tape into the fixed plug along the diversion direction.
Then fix the wiper tape along the wiper steel sheet.
Let’s watch the rain brush the other side of the tape. The length of wiper tape is slightly less than the length of wiper steel sheet. This will firmly hold the wiper tape. If the length of the wiper strip is slightly longer than the length of the wiper steel sheet, the wiper strip will be arched and cannot be fixed.
Take out the removed fixed plug and press it down.
Hearing a “bang”, the fixed plug was successfully installed.
On the reverse side of the successfully installed fixed plug, the wiper tape is slightly smaller than the wiper steel sheet length and is very firmly fixed.
Take out the rectangular fixed buckle, and there is also a diversion direction on the buckle. It can be installed in the direction of diversion.
The diversion direction of the rectangular fixed buckle is the same as that of the wiper tape, which is the correct installation method.
Take out a soft towel and wrap it around the wiper steel sheet and squeeze in with pliers. (the reason for wrapping it with soft towels is for fear of damaging wiper sheets by pliers.)
Press the rectangular fastening buckle inward at the bayonet, and you can install it.
Then install the fixed buckle on both sides, this is very simple, just hang it with a little force.
At this point, a wiper is installed. Install another wiper in the same way.
After the wiper is installed, install it on the car.
Spray some glass water and try the effect of the new wiper tape. It’s very clean.
Fourth, hands-on perception:
1. Replacing the wiper tape looks like a tedious process, but it is actually very simple. Two wipers can be replaced in about ten minutes.
2. This operation is lossless and does not damage the fixed plug with a screwdriver or pliers.
3. The paper cutter is very sharp. Don’t cut yourself.
4. By doing it yourself, you can not only exercise your own ability, but also understand the internal structure of the wiper. Kill two birds with one stone.
