Joint and Linkage Wear:
Over time, wear in the mechanical joints can lead to a loss of synchronization between the wiper arms. This may result in ineffective clearing and reduced performance.

A worn or damaged joint can cause the linkage to detach, which might lead to one wiper arm stopping completely. This compromises the overall efficiency of the system.
Overextension or Misalignment:
Misaligned components can force the wiper arms to extend beyond their optimal range, potentially leading to collisions with the vehicle’s bodywork and causing cosmetic damage.
