Is there a rattling sound when the ‘wiper’ of the car is turned on? Do this easy solution at home!

Car wipers are most important while driving in rainy season. But often when the wipers are turned on, instead of moving smoothly on the glass, they make an annoying ‘cracking’ sound. Not only does this cause distraction while driving, but there is also the risk of permanent scratches on the main glass of the car. So let’s find out why exactly this noise occurs and how to stop it at home.

Why do wipers rattle??

1. Dried or Hardened Rubber: The wiper rubber hardens due to heat. So it stumbles around without rubbing properly on the glass.

2. Dirt or oil on glass: Air pollution, tree bark or road oil build-up on the glass may cause the wipers to not move smoothly.

3. Incorrect fitting: If the frame or blades of the wipers are not seated correctly at the angle of the glass, this noise occurs.

Simple home noise reduction solutions

1. Clean the wiper blades and glass: First of all, take some ‘rubbing alcohol’ or household ‘choline’ on a cotton cloth and wipe the wiper rubber and the car glass thoroughly. This will remove all the black dirt accumulated on the rubber.

2. Baking Soda Magic: Take some baking soda on a damp cloth and rub it gently on the rubber blade of the wiper. Then wash it off with water. This helps soften the rubber.

3. Usage of windshield washer fluid: Use ‘windshield washer liquid’ or car shampoo instead of just plain water in the wiper tank. This creates a lubricant on the glass and keeps the wipers moving without getting stuck.

How to avoid scratches on glass?

1. Do not rotate wipers on dry glass: Never turn on dry wipers when there is dust on the glass. First wet the glass with washer spray and only then turn on the wipers.

2. Replace wipers every year: Wiper rubber must be replaced every 6 to 12 months or at the beginning of every rainy season.

3. Be careful when parking a car in summer: Always keep the wipers upright when parking the car in the summer, so that the hot glass does not melt or harden the rubber.

If the noise does not stop after all these measures, consider that the wiper blades are completely damaged and replace them immediately. Don’t let thousands of rupees worth of car glass get damaged for a mere 200 to 500 rupees wiper!
