Are the factory-fitted wiper blades in Changan Kalam prone to quick wear in Pakistans dusty climate?

Blades may not last long due to heat and dust exposure. Are most streak problems due to worn-out o r low-grade OEM wipers?

Yes. The OEM factory blades on the Changan Kalam are generally basic rubber blades, not high-end silicone o r graphite types. In dust-heavy cities like Lahore o r Quetta:

Dust sticks to the blade edge and scratches o r streaks the glass.

Exposure to direct sunlight causes rubber to dry out o r crack within months.

So, most streak problems start from worn-out wipers, especially if they’re never cleaned o r replaced annually.
