Motorcraft - WW12 - Blade Assembly - Wiper

Durability tested to the equivalent of 10-years/150,000 miles lifetime for passenger cars and light trucks.|Wiper assemblies designed to meet strict Ford Engineering standards for performance and durability.|Rigorous tests ensure proper performance and a long life and include: Cleaning quality is measured and assessed for 500,000 wipe cycles. Wiper assemblies undergo 1.5 million cycles to test for noise, looseness or deformation. Assemblies are rejected if they make excessive noise, scratch the windshield, break or become distorted during testing; Blade force on the windshield is tested for both force and load distribution across the glass area; Wiper assemblies are heat-soaked at 176 degrees F for over 100 hours to ensure the assembly's set does not crack or deform; Restricted-travel tests that simulate ice and snow packing are done for 100,000 cycles at -40 degrees F to ensure assemblies do not crack, break or distort in extreme winter weather; A series of carefully calibrated impact and pull tests ensure the overall strength of the assembly; Chemical resistance subject assemblies to 16 hour soaks in chemical solutions to ensure appropriate resistance to various fluids they may be exposed to during their service life; Environmental exposure tests subject assemblies to a grueling 24 hour salt spray at over 200 degrees F; And Ford Engineers even test to make sure the blade can be installed and removed with just the right amount of effort.
