Tip 4: How to put on the wipers
The question of installing new windshield wipers on the car is facing its owner with the onset of each winter and spring seasons. Weather conditions in just a few months wear out janitors, and they already cease to perform their functions qualitatively. Replacement of windshield wipers begins with their choice, because there are many options for brushes.
Instructions
1
Before you buy a wiper, you needDetermine which model and for what operating conditions you want to put. An important role is played by the manufacturer of brushes. It is not worth saving and buying cheap Chinese analogues. Such janitors They are short-lived and can badly cope with dirton the glass. But a clean windscreen - a guarantee of your safety. It is better to choose products from the assortment of famous manufacturers of automobile accessories and spare parts. If you change the brushes in the showroom of the official dealer, then you can offer brushes of this particular company.
2
The next point is the choice of a certainmodification of wipers. They are different. For example, frameless brushes. They better fit the glass because of their lightweight plastic construction. You can choose a brush with a spoiler, which keeps the brush on the glass during a strong wind and at high speed.
3
Brushes differ and the season of operation. Janitor can all-season, summer, winter. The latter have in their composition substances that do not allow ice and snow to adhere to them. Summer brushes can contain graphite coating on the rubber, which repels dirt. Such brushes are convenient to use in rainy weather.

There are different wipers and rubber composition. All the rubber bands of the wipers are made of rubber. Different manufacturers allow for their composition various impurities (tourmaline, silicone) to improve their performance.
5
For each car there is a sizefront and rear brushes. It happens that the front brushes have different lengths, or there is generally one big brush. In the car dealer, where you will purchase brushes, there must be a catalog with the sizes and compatibility of brushes with different brands of cars. If your car is not in the catalog, you can independently measure the size of brushes and find suitable ones. Buy brushes can be as a set of two pieces, and one by one.

If you buy brushes simply by size,Pay attention to the mounts that come with the kit - they may differ from the standard ones. The most common fastening is a "hook" measuring 9 * 3, 9 * 4. There are also fastenings under the pin, "dovetail", "renault".

In order to remove the old wiper,press the leash from the glass. On the janitor's fastener there is a button, by pressing which, the brush moves up or sideways and is taken out. Insert the new brush into the mount until it clicks into place and make sure that it fits snugly.
Tip 5: Which wipers are best to buy for the WHA
Today, manufacturers offer a largenumber of wipers, which differ not only in size, but in construction. To choose the most suitable wipers for VAZ is to provide safe driving in bad weather conditions.
Types of wiper structures
The most traditional and commonare frame wipers. At the heart of the design is a rigid frame, on which a rubber band is attached. Classic brushes are considered reliable, but not very effective, but Russian VAZs are designed for them. A number of Western manufacturers supply their cars with frameless wipers. They have an original profile that allows you to better clean the windshield and provide uniform pressure over the entire length. Another advantage - a low altitude, which improves visibility and aerodynamic qualities: air flow is easier to skip the windshield wiper. In the winter, frameless brushes are less exposed to icing, because The joints in the construction are very small and the water has nowhere to accumulate. However, frameless brushes are expensive, and they can be installed only on the model of the car for which they are designed, i.e. for VAZ a similar product will not work.How to choose brushes for VAZ machines
First of all, when choosing the janitors, it is necessarypay attention to the way of fastening: in modern Russian cars a hook is used (or Hook, J-hook), it is designated with the letter "U". The most common sizes of the hook are 9x4 and 9x3. The second important point is the fabrication material of the tape, in which quality silicone is used today. Ideally, it is better to have a pair of brush sets: one for summer (hard version), another for winter (soft, elastic products, less prone to icing). The next important parameter is the size. For classic VAZ models, including for Niva, the length is 33-34 cm. Front-wheel models from 2108 to 2115 require the installation of brushes 51 cm in length. The same size is needed for Priora and Largus. The "Kalina" and Lada Granta put brushes of different length: 60 cm from the driver's side and 40 cm from the passenger. Despite the fact that the design of VAZ involves installing only brushes with a pin-type lock ("classic") or "hook" (more modern cars), it is possible to install brushes with other types of fastening. The installation can be made by means of special adapters.Tip 6: Who is the janitor: job description and profession
The first wipers appeared in Russia at the end of 18century. And if the modern guardians of purity are responsible only for bringing order to the territory entrusted to them, then the first representatives of this profession also followed the observance of law and order on their site, prevented hooliganism, robbery and other crimes.
