Windscreen cleaning spare parts for your car

Window cleaning component

When you think of window cleaning, the first thing that comes to mind are wipers. These clean the windows and give the driver a clear view. However, the system consists of many other elements, most of which are invisible. For example, washer fluid nozzles, switches, relays, washer fluid pumps, water tanks and wiper motors ensure optimum visibility and thus safety while driving. When all of these parts are working properly, a trouble-free ride is assured in all weather conditions. Windshield wipers are normally fitted to the front windows of every vehicle, and in some cases also to the rear windows. In rain, spray water or snow, the system quickly ensures clean windows. Since the wiper blades differ from vehicle to vehicle, we recommend that you seek advice from our support team or use our search mask based on the information provided.

How the window cleaning works

The system is not very complex, the wiper blades are moved by a motor. A wiper linkage has a wiper blade at the end, i.e. a rubber rail that removes water and dirt from the windshield by pulling it off. In the absence of rain, the windscreen is supplied with water through the washer nozzles. Before the windshield wipers are driven, the washer pump sprays water or detergent onto the surface. This is necessary to slow down the wear of the squeegee. When the surface is dry, the wiper blades squeak and cannot function properly. Therefore, the task of the driver is to always refill the system with enough water. In winter, mix the water with antifreeze. This does not freeze at low temperatures and cleans windows even in winter. Operating the windshield wipers has been made easier for the driver with the use of rain sensors. These switch on the wiper blades automatically when it rains and control the wiping strength.
