Car components and vehicle aesthetics for rainy season

Windshield wiper

The wiper has to be one of the most important component in the rainy season, this is used for remove rain streams from the windshield,

 

we see just the wiper blades but it consists of other components that make up it's working, so going into the rainy season you must be sure that all the components that allow for the proper functioning of the wiper blades are in place the motor, the wiper arms, washer reservoir, washer fluid, nozzles. It is important that the wiper blades wipe the windshield clean, not leaving gaps or just smearing the rain water off the windshield, so ensure that the blades are in perfect condition.

 All vehicle lights

The headlamp, the tail lights, indicator light, reverse light, invariably all the external light of the car should be functioning properly during the rainy season and always, because this aids the other drivers to know that you are on the road, it allows for your safety and the safety of other road users.

The road tar/pavement is usually darker and requires brighter lights for visibility therefore the head lamp must be bright and sharp, set to the road use specified angle.

The tail light helps drivers behind you keep a safe distance and the brake light also notified them when you apply the brakes. It is a necessity to ensure that all this lights are working properly.

 Brake pads

In preparation for the season ensure that the brake pads are in good condition, during a wet day, water gets between the brake pads and the brake rotors, reducing the effectiveness of the braking system. Even though there are technologies in modern vehicles that aid braking, it is pertinent that the brake pads are in prime condition, it is therefore advised that if you've not changed your brake pads in a long time, going into the season, you should invest in quality brake pads.

Air conditioner

As a car owner, you should ensure that your vehicle's air conditioning system is in prime shape for the season, this is important to defog the windshield, removing/drying up moisture from the cabin.

This increases the visibility of the driver and makes the vehicle comfortable for the occupants.

Remember preventive maintenance is cheaper that corrective maintenance.
