Angle top clip on new wiper to catch in the arm9. Be sure connector comes out of hose on the wiper arm7. Remove washer hose connection - May require removing the tubing from the arm to get enough play in the hose6. Rotate outer end of wiper to release the hinge clip from the arm5. Lay down a towel or blanket under the wiper on the windshield to prevent scratches or other damage3. Put vehicle into "Wiper Service" mode - Car menu -> Service -> Wiper Service2. This took a bit to figure out the best way.Installation:1.
The washer hose connectors are a little bit tricky.Pro-tip: Use one hand to pull back the tubing and the other to rotate the existing connector if the old connector doesn't come off easily. One would be very hard pressed to find a difference (if there even is one!). Buying them from Tesla was an option, but these were offered on Vine, so I took a shot.Visually, they are a like for like match with the Tesla wipers that I removed. My 2016 Model X was starting to have streaky wipers. After all, the Roadster is far from the traditional vehicle.Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2022 The traditional wiper system was obviously not in Musk’s plans. This could prove crucial as Elon Musk plans to have the Roadster run at the Nürburgring next year to break the one-lap record. The new, updated wiper’s horizontal bars are located below the windshield, under the hood in order to prevent any wind resistance. The design is crucial to the performance of the Roadster. This design would give the blade complete coverage in a sweeping motion. The magnets would repel the blade across the windshield, using a gear or actuator.
The wiper arm would make its way across the windshield in a sliding motion with the help of magnets, similar to the way a printer scans across a piece of paper to apply ink. The new system is comprised of a single wiper arm that is connected to two horizontal bars, running the width of the car’s windshield, located under the vehicle’s hood. Tesla owner and DIYer Brian Jenkins of the notable YouTube channel i1Tesla, illustrated Tesla’s design using cardboard cutouts that are relatively similar in dimensions to the wipers. The main field of vision would not be covered by this wiper, and would thus be a hazard to the driver. The driver’s side, however, would only be partially cleared. The passenger side of the windshield, along with the rear-view mirror camera would be cleared of any moisture.
MODEL X WIPER BLADE REPLACEMENT FULL
However, there was a flaw in the design, as the wiper would not give full coverage to the windshield. The base of both arms were fixed, and they would move the wiper across the windshield in a single motion. The initial design was comprised of two arms, identical in design, connected to a single wiper blade that stretched the height of the windshield. A notable Tesla YouTuber recently released a video of the newly improved design that is a tailored-fit for the upcoming next-gen Roadster. Tesla’s recently published patent for a new, magnetically focused wiper blade has held onto immense speculation since its first reports in early September.
