The difference between hybrid wipers and frameless wipers is a topic often questioned by car owners. Why? Because these two have different capabilities.

Having a good car wiper is certainly the target of everyone, especially during the rainy season when you need good visibility to ensure safety.

Below are the differences between hybrid wipers and frameless wipers that you need to know.

Difference Between Hybrid Wipers and Frameless Wipers on Car Windows

Wipers are generally placed at the front and back of the car, and this component is useful for automatically cleaning the car windows to make it easier for you while driving.

Without wipers or if your wipers are broken, your visibility can be disturbed, which can even endanger the driver during rain. Therefore, it is important for you to have a good car wiper.

Want to know the difference between these two types of wipers? Check out the review below!

1. Wiper Capability

Frameless wipers are made of soft and very strong rubber, allowing them to sweep water very well. Additionally, the frameless type is safer for car windows because it does not use a metal frame. So, you don't have to worry about the glass getting scratched and rusted.

However, the downside is that frameless wipers cannot optimally sweep all the water on the edges of the glass, only on the middle part.

Meanwhile, hybrid wipers consist of plastic bracket and holder components that make this wiper stronger and lighter. Unlike frameless wipers, hybrids have a wider and more optimal sweeping range.

2. Durability Level

Frameless wipers are not more durable than hybrid wipers, as frameless wipers have rubber that wears out easily due to frequent use. Additionally, the rubber on frameless wipers cannot be replaced, so you have to replace the entire unit.

Meanwhile, based on several testimonials from users of hybrid wipers, the durability level of hybrids is better than that of frameless and conventional wipers.

3. Wiper Price

The prices of frameless and hybrid wipers are also different; it can be said that hybrid wipers are the most expensive type. If frameless wipers are priced at twice the price of conventional wipers, then premium hybrid wipers will be even more expensive.

Both frameless and hybrid wipers have good capabilities. However, it ultimately comes down to your preference and budget, as the most important thing is to always maintain the condition of the car wipers.

4. Car Window Shape

The performance of frameless wipers depends on the shape of your car window. If your car window is too convex, then frameless is not the right choice. However, if you use hybrid wipers, regardless of the shape of the car window, you can use them.

5. Wiper Appearance

There is a different appearance between frameless wipers and hybrid wipers, which have the main advantage of a frame-less model – aerodynamic wing effect. This model contributes to a better fit to the glass surface.

Meanwhile, frameless wipers do not have that advantage, making them less effective on the edges of the glass.

That is the difference between frameless wipers and hybrid wipers that stands out. Besides these two types of wipers, there are actually other types such as conventional wipers, full frame wipers, flat-blade wipers, and refill wipers. However, frameless and hybrid types are the favorites for car owners, making them very interesting to discuss.

If you are a Daihatsu car user and want to replace your car wipers, then hurry to the official workshop and don't forget to book through the Daihatsu  website.
