Too Afraid to Ask

The windshield wipers are the parts that wipe away rain or snow from your car’s front window so you can see clearly. They move back and forth when you turn the wiper button on.

Technical Definition

Windshield wipers are the rubber blades that sweep rain, snow, and debris off a vehicle’s windshield. They are driven by an electric motor and operate in sync with the wiper control switch.
