How to replace the boneless wiper strip.
1. Preparations.
Tool preparation: Before replacing the boneless wiper strip, you need to prepare some basic tools, such as flathead screwdrivers, scissors, etc. Make sure these tools are all clean and functional to avoid additional damage during the replacement process.
Choose the right strip: Buy a boneless wiper strip that matches your model and wiper size. Make sure that the selected adhesive strip is of reliable quality, with good abrasion resistance and cleaning effect.
2. Disassemble the old rubber strip.
Lift the wiper arm: Park the car in a flat place, turn off the engine. Gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
Separate the strip: Observe the structure of the boneless wiper and find the connection between the strip and the wiper skeleton. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently insert the joints and carefully detach the strip from the wiper skeleton.
Remove the old rubber strip: Along the wiper skeleton, remove the old rubber strip completely from the wiper.
3. Install the new rubber strip.
Clean the wiper skeleton: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe the wiper skeleton to ensure that its surface is clean and free of impurities.
Install the new strip: Align the new strip with the groove of the wiper skeleton and gently push the strip into the groove. Make sure the strip is installed flat and not twisted or folded.
Adjust the strip position: Use scissors to trim the end of the new strip so that it matches the length of the wiper skeleton. Then adjust the position of the strip to make sure it fits snugly against the windshield.
4. Testing and Adjustment.
Lower the wiper arm: Gently lower the wiper arm back on the windshield, making sure it is securely installed.
Test the wiper effect: Start the car, turn on the wiper switch, and test the cleaning effect of the newly installed rubber strip. If you find an abnormality or the wiping effect is not good, you need to readjust or replace the adhesive strip.
5. Precautions.
When replacing the boneless wiper strip, make sure that the operation is gentle and careful to avoid damage to the wiper skeleton or windshield.
When buying a new strip, choose a specification that matches the model and wiper size to ensure the wiper effect and service life after installation.
If there are any doubts or uncertainties about the replacement process, it is advisable to consult a professional repair person or seek professional repair services.
