What is a Windshield Wiper Cover?
Windshield wipers have been around for over a hundred years and there have been many improvements made to them over time. Traditionally, wipers are made so that the entire mechanism of the wiper is visible and open to the outside of your car.
This leaves the most important part of your wipers open to snow, ice and debris falling or getting stuck onto your wipers. Depending on the circumstances, this can cause a lot of damage to your windshield wiper. If this damage is substantial, you may have the need to replace the entire windshield wiper.
To combat this problem, designers created a windshield wiper cover that can be placed over the top of your wipers. The cover is housed directly on top of the moving mechanism of your windshield wipers. By having this windshield wiper cover in place, it will stop any unwanted debris from entering the wiper area. This cover is also able to protect your wipers from the effects of snow and ice and eliminates the need for trying to gently break ice off of your wipers.
Why use a Wiper Cover?
If you want to keep your windshield wipers in good working condition then purchasing a windshield wiper cover is a good solution. These covers are especially useful if you live in a section of the UK where snow and ice are common. It will eliminate the headache of trying to break the ice off of the wipers carefully as you are protecting the wipers from damage. With the cover installed, there will be no snow or ice on the arm of the wiper to clean off.
Even if you do not live in an area where snow falls, installing a windshield wiper cover will protect your wipers from any debris that is flying around while driving. If debris gets stuck into your wiper mechanism it may cause your wipers to get jammed, which in turn could cause the wiper motor to burn out. By having a cover, you eliminate that possibility.
When a vehicle has a windshield wiper cover on, it is able to keep the wiper blade clean and free from debris, ice and snow. The cleaner your wiper blades are the better visibility you will have when driving. This added protection to your wiper blades will also make them last longer. The blades will be less likely to decay from the rough and cold weather.
