๐ฅ Everything You Need to Know About Heated and Spray Jet Wiper Blades
ย
Are You Missing Out on Smarter Wipers?
As vehicle tech continues to evolve, more and more modern cars are now equipped with heated and spray jet wiper blades โ especially models manufactured from 2020 onwards. But what do these advanced blades actually do, and how do you know if your car needs them?
At VIPA Car Parts, weโre here to help you understand, identify, and maintain the right wipers for your vehicle.
โ๏ธ What Are Heated & Spray Jet Wiper Blades?
-
Heated wiper blades: These blades feature built-in heating elements that melt snow, ice, and frost directly from the blade edge, ensuring clearer visibility in cold weather.
-
Spray jet blades: Instead of spraying washer fluid from the bonnet, these blades release fluid directly from the blade itself, ensuring better coverage, cleaner windscreens, and less waste.
Both types are common on newer Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Tesla, Volkswagen, and other premium models.
