In Shanghai at the end of March, the temperature gradually rose, and as the activity of warm and humid air flow intensified, Shanghai entered the scene of "rain during the Qingming Festival". Although the rainy season is sometimes quite beautiful, the feeling of smoke and rain is cloudy. But for motorists, the rainy season can have an obstructed view, which in turn affects the mood. So can we just "sit back and wait"?
The answer is obviously no, in fact, you can solve a lot of problems by yourself, a lot of daily necessities, and use in the car will also have a very good effect, I will show you how to do it yourself, easily resolve the troubles caused by the rainy season to the driver.
What you need to prepare to ensure a worry-free rainy season
The relationship between the rainy season and the car, naturally the first thing that can be thought of is the wiper blade (wiper strip), glass water, glass water repellent, glass anti-fogging agent. Secondly, like the glass wiper at the bottom of the picture, the lazy rag, and the air outlet perfume in the upper left corner, the inflatable pump, etc., we put it in the second link.
The first is to replace the wiper blade, this time I used my own Camry as a demonstration, this Camry wiper rocker arm and the bonnet will form an interference. To lift the wiper rocker smoothly, you need to go inside the car, lift the wiper switch up after the flameout is turned off, and let the wiper rocker arm enter maintenance mode, so that you can start replacing the wiper blade.
Regarding the choice of wiper blades, is it to choose boneless or boneless? I don't think there's any need to struggle, you can just scrape it clean, and there's no better or worse. As long as the wiper blade connector matches the wiper rocker joint. Secondly, when buying wiper blades, it is necessary to match the length of the wiper blades matched by the original car. Want to know how long the wiper blade on their car is, there are many ways, look at the use / maintenance manual on the line, there will be a mark on it, the other is like me, the old wiper blade is removed, the old parts and the new parts are compared, the amount of a measure to know. Many wiper brands have a scale on the outer packaging, which can be used as a reference.
The wipers on the left and right of my Camry are not the same length, 20 inches on the left and 26 inches on the right. The wiper tablet I bought this time is a boneless wiper, because this physical supermarket only provides this one brand of products, and I think the price is not expensive.
Removing the old wiper is a fairly simple way to undo the wiper blade by pinching the locks on both sides and then turning the cover up. It should be noted that when taking down the wiper blade, it is best to take a large towel to block the wiper rocker arm, in case you hit the windshield, the gain is not worth the loss.
It should be noted that with a new wiper, be sure to lock the buckle, another point is that the new wiper blade will have a hard plastic protective cover before use, remember to remove the protective cover before use.
After changing the wiper, put the wiper rocker arm down normally. The next time you re-ignite, flick the wiper switch and the wiper rocker arm will return to the normal off-and-put position. But this time our DIY is not over, I let the wiper rocker arm is still in the maintenance position.

I don't know if you have encountered the situation on the picture above, my car is not so serious, but there are some. This is the oil film attached to the glass, the oil film is sometimes the oil stains on the road through the vehicle, by the air flow to the rear of the car glass, there are also poor parking position, parked under the tree, the leaves of the oily substances, bird droppings and other substances containing grease left on the glass, mixed water by the wiper blade hung on the entire glass is. It will cause the line of sight to be unclear, and the general glass water basically has no effect on the oil film. But my solution is very simple, with a household glass cleaner can wipe quickly, the actual test has been several times, but also verified.
After spraying evenly, the relatives are also scraped aside with a wiper, and then wiped dry with a lazy cloth, and the oil film is basically washed off. If the oil film is more serious, repeat it once, or even twice. I usually use this method, and I have tried it many times.
It should be noted that please avoid wiping the glass with a cotton towel or napkin, because there will be a large number of flocculent fibers left on the glass, which will affect the aesthetics and will not be able to wipe clean. Use a static flocked towel, or a lazy rag that basically doesn't drop fibers to wipe glass and other smooth surfaces.
I'm lazy and reluctant to scrub towels. After wiping clean, it will move on to the next link, the two-in-one product of the glass water repellent/cleaning agent, the actual use effect is general, and it can be maintained for about two weeks.
The water repellent is used in the same way as when cleaning glass, and can be evenly sprayed on the mirror surface of the windshield, side windows, and exterior mirrors. Then wait a few moments and wipe it clean with a static flocked towel.
After wiping it all clean, the spraying of the glass water repellent is completed, and I bought a cleaner + anti-fogging agent set. After the outside of the glass is cleaned, you can clean the interior, spray the glass anti-fogging agent evenly on the inside of the glass, and wipe it clean after completion. It should be noted that it is recommended that everyone spray any liquid in the car, and should put a large towel to cover the place where you do not want to be sprayed.
After wiping it clean, all the "cleaning work" today has been completed, and in the subsequent inspection process, I found that there was not much glass water and added a whole bottle. How to add glass water, if it is not clear, flip through my previous articles, I believe you can do it.
I usually have the vice of smoking e-cigarettes in the car, which actually brings some residual smell to the interior, which others don't like very much. So, I bought a perfume for the outlet to cover up. Follow the instructions to open the clip and put a clip on the air outlet.
Editor's Summary: In fact, it is not only very convenient to do it yourself, but also to sweat and exercise. At the same time, the "construction" by yourself will generally be more meticulous, and it will also save labor costs. The so-called do-it-yourself abundant food and clothing, I hope that everyone will do it themselves more when they have nothing to do, and sometimes the process is still very happy.
