DO YOU KNOW

90 percent of our driving decisions are based on what we see. When your wipers can’t clear your windshield, the streaks and glare can significantly impair your vision. Replace your windshield wipers before they fail. At Advanced Auto Clinic in Delavan we install quality NAPA replacement parts. Give us a call at 262.728.2944 and let us help keep you safely and economically on the road.

Windshield Wiper Blade Replacements

Today at Advanced Auto Clinic we’re going to talk about windshield wiper blades. Now that may seem like a pretty mundane topic, but think about how important your vision is: We protect our eyes. If we need contacts or glasses, we taken care of them too. And, well, wiper blades are critical to our vision when we drive around the Darien area.

We really ought to think about wipers as part of an important safety system. We should think about maintaining safety – not just responding when our wiper blades fail: how many times have you been caught off-guard in Darien by the first storm of the season with a streaky windshield you can barely see out of? Or with no washer fluid.

Wiper blades live outside the vehicle, exposed to heat and sun in the Darien summer and cold and ice in the Darien area winter. It’s no wonder that they get dry, brittle and torn.

We recommend changing wiper blades twice a year – before they’re so damaged that they don’t work. If you replace them in one of your spring and fall oil changes, you should always have wiper blades that can get the job done.

Some of us live in areas with more extreme weather and temperature conditions. You might just live somewhere where it rains more so your blades wear out faster, or you travel a lot and use your wipers to clean bugs and road grime.

If that’s the case, consider a premium grade wiper. There are special wiper material compounds, blade designs and wiper arms that really improve your vision in adverse conditions. There are even special winter blades that don’t get all clogged up with ice and snow.

We can also apply a special windshield treatment that repels rain, sleet and snow as you drive. The increased visibility can improve your driving response time.

When it comes to wiper blades, it’s important to think of it as maintaining this safety component by replacing your blades before they fail. That’ll keep you seeing clearly in all conditions.

Advanced Auto Clinic Car Care News and Information: Wiper Blade Design

Wiper blades may not be the most exciting topic for most Delavan car owners, but they are pretty important. Most of us Delavan drivers have had an experience when a sudden snow or rain storm hits while we’re driving; then when we turn on the wipers, nothing but streaks. This can be especially disconcerting at night when the glare of on-coming headlights distorts your vision.

Simple answer: change your wiper blades BEFORE they fail. Check them out every couple of months just to see how they are working. Of course, the more you use your wipers, the sooner they’ll wear out. Delavan auto owners with lots of storms or those who drive a lot in WI where there are bugs and road grime will use their blades more.

But even when you’€™re not using your blades, they are exposed to sunlight, ozone, soap, and extreme hot and cold WI temperatures which lead to deterioration. Your blades can just rot away and fall apart before you need them. Of course, using your wipers when the blades are torn can lead to scratches in your windshield. Car owners don’€™t want to risk a steep windshield replacement over the cost of a couple of wiper blades.

WIPER BLADE UPGRADES

Now let’€™s talk about wiper blade upgrades. Delavan car owners can upgrade both the design and the wiper material. Let’s start with the material.

Traditional black rubber blades do a great job of clearing your windshield when they are new. Over time all of the conditions mentioned above damage them and degrade their performance.

Silicone blades are far less affected by environmental conditions and will simply perform better for a longer time for Delavan motorists.

WIPER BLADE DESIGN ELEMENTS

There are two elements to the design. First, the wiper blade itself: Some have a single wiping edge. Others have multiple edges, kind of like a multi-blade razor. The idea is to maximize wiping power during both swipes of the blade.

The other design element is with the wiper frame. This is the structure that applies pressure on the blade as it passes over the windshield. A conventional frame has four to six contact points on the blade. These apply pressure used to clear water and snow. A beam frame provides uniform pressure along the entire surface of the wiper. Their shape catches the wind passing over the vehicle to provide additional downforce to help get a clean swipe. A hybrid frame has four to six contact points as with a conventional blade, but also incorporates an airfoil to provide additional downforce as with beam blades.

So which blade should you select?

Well always use at least the grade and design that came with the vehicle from the vehicle manufacturer. Upgrade for better performance and longer lasting blades. The extra cost of premium blades is a good value for this important safety system.

While you‒re at it, make sure you have plenty of windshield washer solvent (use a winter formulation when Delavan temps drop below freezing) and that your washer nozzles are working well.

Tips to Get Car Spring Ready

/in /by

Wash Your Vehicle – Especially The Undercarriage

Wash your vehicle thoroughly. The Winter months have taken a toll on your vehicle, so it is important to wash away all of the salt, sand and debris that has accumulated. Road salt can cause damage to a car’s exterior, and it’s undercarriage ( That is where corrosive elements can do the most damage). Bottoms of doors can get coated with grime, so be sure to wash there as well.

Use a garden hose with as much water pressure as your system can muster to loosen winter grime and salt. Or, if you have a movable lawn sprinkler that’s low enough, set that under the vehicle to wash away what you can’t reach.

Spring is also a good time to check your entire vehicle for rust, which can worsen during the winter months.

Replace Wiper Blades

Wiper Blades go through a lot in the Winter. Check the blades to make sure the have full contact with the windshield and have not dried out. Also, refill the wiper fluid reservoir.

Check Tires

It’s important to check tire pressure after weather changes. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended pressure for your tire, and never exceed that. Higher pressure generally results in improved steering response and fuel economy, but a stiffer ride, and it wears out the tread in the center. Underinflation generally provides a smoother ride, but it causes tires to wear out at the sides. It also wastes gas because tires need more power to push the vehicle.

Also, rotate the tires. Rotating your tires extends the life of them and ensures safe driving

Check Steering, Suspension, Shocks & Struts

Your suspension system keeps your car up off the road. From there, it’s responsible for a smooth and comfortable ride. Suspensions keeps the car wheels firmly planted over bumps and through curves on roads and interstates. Your suspension system has many essential parts that do a big job. They should be inspected for damage and excessive wear at least once a year.

Worn shocks can increase the time and distance it takes you to stop your car in an emergency situation.
