About Wiper Blades

Wipers are a standard safety feature in cars and can be positioned on both the front and rear windscreen of the car. Most cars have two wipers on the front windscreen, one on the driver side and one on the passenger side. Rear windscreens tend to have just one long wiper that sweeps across the whole of the windscreen. The Lotus wiper blade is designed specifically for the make and model of your vehicle.

The driver needs to look through the front windscreen to see the road ahead, and through the back windscreen to see the traffic behind, so it is imperative that the windscreens are in perfect, clean condition.  The wiper blades help to ensure this is the case. The wiper consists of a wiper arm and a wiper blade. The Lotus wiper blade is made from rubber and as the arm is powered to move across the windscreen, the rubber blade moves the water and debris from the surface of the windscreen, clearing the screen to enable a clear vision of sight for the driver.  A wiper linkage is the mechanism responsible for movement of the wiper arms, which enables the blades to sweep across the windscreen to keep it free of rain and dirt. Driven by the wiper motor, the linkage is moved back and forth by cams. The wiper arms, housing the wiper blades, are normally bolted or attached to the linkage on studs or splines that protrude through the scuttle panel. The driver can decide at what speed the wipers move, usually from a choice of three speeds, depending on the weather conditions. The driver can operate the wipers by selecting the desired speed on the wiper switch stalk, which usually mounted on the steering column. This activates the wiper motor switch, which operates with a wiper motor relay. Many car windscreens are also fitted with a windscreen washer. Powered by a windscreen washer motor, it pumps out a spray, which works with the wiper blades to clean the windscreen.  A car's windscreen washer and wiper systems should ensure the windscreen is clean and clear enough for the driver to be able to drive safely in all weather conditions. 

There are different types of wiper blades, such as the euro spoiler blade, which has a spoiler fitted to direct the spray and provides a firmer and closer grip to the windscreen. It's important to buy a part that will be compatible with your vehicle and able to secure in place properly and function correctly. 

Wiper blades will eventually wear down as the rubber deteriorates and damaged or worn blades won't function properly. Malfunctioning wiper blades also make an annoying noise as they struggle to do their job, which is reason enough to replace old wiper blades, not least because of safety.  Purchasing the Lotus wiper blade  is the perfect choice when you need to replace the wiper blades on your vehicle.

Lotus trivia

• Although Lotus has always been a smaller company than other makers, they have been approached to help with the designs of some very famous cars from some big names. Some notable examples include the DeLorean DMC-12, the V12 Vanquish, and the Corvette ZR-1.
• The car that Richard Gere is driving when he meets Julia Roberts in the film Pretty Woman is a silver Esprit Turbo. The car is referenced several times as being the top of its class. The same car also shows up in the Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas film, Basic Instinct.
• The last time that Lotus achieved any big F1 success was in 1978, when they used revolutionary 'ground effect' design to keep their Lotus 79 closer to the ground when turning. As a result of the design, Lotus won 16 of the year's races and the constructor's prize. Ground effects designs were banned in 1983 due to safety fears.
• There's a lot of mystery over why the name Lotus was chosen for the company. The most obvious answer is that it has something to do with the Lotus flower, but the connection to a UK car company is unclear. One of the best suggestions is that it relates to the Norfolk way of saying "...us lot", which was a favourite of the founder.
• Lotus once finished building a car one day before it was due to race in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The rules now forbid this from happening. Unfortunately, the Lotus R3 didn't finish the race, breaking down with 16 laps still left to go.
