How to Choose Windshield Wiper Blades For Volkswagen
When it comes to choosing windshield wipers, the number of options available might surprise you. While wiper blades all have the same function, they do not all do it the same way, at the same price, or with the same performance. To help you choose the best wipers for your budget or circumstances, we have highlighted the following three main types of wiper blades, how much you can spend on them and when they will perform best.
There is a variety of wiper blades available and choosing the right model can be difficult. To find the right size, read your car’s manual, measure your wipers or visit a car parts store for help. If conventional rubber wiper blades are not enough, try frameless bar blades or silicone blades. Typically, a higher investment in wiper blades will result in higher performance and durability.
Read the owner’s manual for your car. Wiper blades come in many different sizes, and the same car can accommodate more than one size. Read your car’s manual to see what sizes of wiper blades can be installed in your car. Checking this way is the easiest way to find out what you are looking for before you go shopping.
Measure your current wiper blades. Use a tape measure to measure your wiper blades. If your car uses two wiper blades of different lengths, measure them both. To have a simple reference when shopping, save the measurements on your mobile phone.
Ask for help at a car parts warehouse. Visit a car parts store to find the right wiper blades for your car. Explain the year, make and model of your car to a seller so they can find the right blades for you. Some car parts stores will install the blades for you after you buy them.
Alternatively, you can bring one of your old wiper blades to the store to match it.
TYPES OF WINDSCREEN WIPERS
BEAM WIPER BLADES
Beam wiper blades if you want to improve your window cleaning game, you should look at the beam blade section. Beam blades offer infinite pressure points, all-weather performance and aerodynamic design for longer-lasting excellent visibility. 86% of new cars today come with a beam or hybrid blade. Instead of having a metal structure like a conventional wiper blade, the carrier blades are made of a solid piece of rubber. This is useful when the weather becomes unpleasant. Where snow and ice can clog the frame and freeze a conventional wiper blade, you can simply hit a beam blade against the windshield to rid it of dirt. Beam wiper blades also have a fin or spoiler along the blade’s spine that help hold the wiper firmly against the windshield to ensure maximum contact even at highway speeds. The beam blades are between $15 and $30 per blade, but can last up to 2x longer than a conventional blade.
HYBRID WIPER BLADES
If you like the cost savings of the traditional wiper blade, but want the all-weather performance of a bar blade, you will want to consider getting a set of hybrid wiper blades. Hybrid blades are designed like a conventional blade with a steel frame and pivoting suspension points, but also have a plastic or rubber protective layer over the frame. This helps to keep costs down and provides protection from harsher weather conditions. The cost of these blades is usually between that of a carrier and a conventional blade
TRADITIONAL WIPER BLADE
The traditional wiper blade has been around for decades and consists of a steel frame and a rubber blade. The frame itself is what is attached to the vehicle’s wiper arm and has pivoting suspension points that help keep the blade on the windscreen. Conventional blades are inexpensive – under $10 per blade – when it is time to replace them. Most wiper blade manufacturers recommend replacing these blades every six months.
