How to choose wiper blades?

To date, "janitors" are divided into 3 types: classic (frame), frameless and hybrid. Naturally, each has both pluses and minuses. Main characteristics:

• Classic frame were placed on all domestic vehicles and represented a solid base with a rubber band. It sounds funny, but these working elements were designed taking into account not only the size, but also the curvature of the windshield. The tape was also made of special rubber, the dimensions were also carefully calculated, plus a special coating was added. Modern classic wipers also have plates on the sides of the tapes (to maintain the shape of the wiper), and spoilers that increase aerodynamics. For the winter season, winter "wipers" are produced - with a closed rubber cover. There is only one minus, but a serious one: if the manufacturer is greedy and does not use low-quality plastic, the wipers will crack very quickly and you will have to buy a new set.
• Frameless cleaners, as the name implies, they do not have an external metal frame. Outside, plastic is used (or plastic combined with rubber), and metal plates are hidden inside the case. This type of "wipers" fit snugly to the glass, practically do not make noise, do not provoke the appearance of a layer of ice on the glass. However, there are more disadvantages than the “classics”: there is no universal option (for each car you need to choose your own look and mount), and they are quite expensive.
• Hybrid wipers combine the best features of framed and frameless models, making them versatile, with very tight downforce. They cost more than those described above, and also “collect” snow on themselves during snowfalls.
• Mounts. Of the fasteners, the most popular is the hook. The rest - bayonet, side clip, button, and so on, are rare.
• Appearance: it would seem that all these accessories are identical at first glance. But no. Take a closer look: the material may initially have burrs and cracks. Why buy an obviously damaged product?
• wear sensor will not allow the brush to crawl on the glass in vain and slowly but surely wear off. A change in the color of the indicator applied to the body is a signal that it is time to change the wipers.
• Material. In order for rubber bands to withstand exposure to high and low temperatures, as well as water, silicone or rubber is added to them. If you live in a region with very cold winters, you need wipers with silicone, in an area with hot summers - with rubber, which is more resistant to ultraviolet radiation.

Even high-quality "wipers" are easy to kill: for example, when using them on dry or icy glass. Be careful!
