In terms of price, of course, bone wipers are much cheaper, but in terms of use effect, there is little difference between bone wipers and boneless wipers at the beginning, but the service life of boneless wipers is longer than that of bone wipers. Wiper, and after a period of use, because the wear of the boneless wiper is relatively small, the resistance during operation will be smaller, so the working resistance of the wiper motor will be smaller. Therefore, the popularity of boneless wipers is getting higher and higher, and the price difference is getting smaller and smaller. For wipers of the same size, it is recommended to choose boneless wipers as much as possible. For windows with smaller front and rear windshields, you can choose more economical bone wipers.
