Washer Wiper Maintenance, for Optimal Performance
JAKARTA, NOVEMBER 2024, The rainy season is starting. Almost all regions in the country are being showered with rain. Daihatsu friends need to be highly vigilant when traveling using vehicles.
Make sure the wipers and other devices work optimally to sweep away water droplets on the windshield. Also, the Air Conditioner (AC) should be ready to maintain the room temperature so that the glass does not fog up. However, what needs to be watched out for when driving in light rain is that the car windows can become very dirty, which can obstruct visibility.
Therefore, make sure the wipers, washer, and reservoir tank are all functioning. This way, the washer nozzle can break down dirt on the glass before it is wiped by the wiper.

Maximize Wiper Function with Washer
To ensure that water droplets mixed with dust on the glass are clean again, it is best for the wiper's performance to be accompanied by a spray of water through the nozzle with the help of the washer controlled by the driver via the lever behind the steering wheel.
Clogged Car Washer Nozzle
Unfortunately, this component is often overlooked by car owners. As a result, it does not function optimally when Daihatsu friends' cars are under light rain. One of the problems that occur with the washer wiper is that the nozzle is clogged.
When the nozzle is clogged, the wiper's sweep becomes less effective when the direction of water from the washer nozzle is not correct. This usually happens due to the washer nozzle being blocked by dirt.
One solution to address this is to use a needle or a pin. A needle and pin can be used to prevent dirt from settling.
Needle Can Also Adjust Water Spray Direction
In addition to cleaning settled dirt that has even hardened. The shaft and sharp tip of the needle and pin can also be used to adjust the direction of the water spray.
For the method, Daihatsu friends can direct the needle shaft at the nozzle's eye to the center of the car glass on each side. This will certainly make it easier for dirt to be swept evenly with the wiper blade.
Drain and Refill Reservoir Tank Water
To ensure optimal wiper fluid spray, Daihatsu friends are advised to drain the reservoir tank. This is done to clean the moss deposits that stick to the reservoir tank.
After the tank is clean, refill it immediately with clean water according to the volume indicated on the tank. Likewise, when the water in the tank starts to decrease.
