Wiper Blade Replacement
Lift wiper arm. Press release lever and
detach wiper blade.
Properly functioning windshield
wipers are essential for clear vision and
safe driving. Regularly check the
condition of the wiper blades.
Replace hard, brittle or cracked blades
or those that smear dirt on the
windshield.
Foreign material on the windshield or
wiper blades can reduce the effective-
ness of the wipers. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the
windshield and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent. Rinse them
thoroughly with water. Repeat the
process, if necessary.
There is no way to remove traces of
silicone from glass. Therefore, never
apply polish with silicone to your
vehicle's windshield or you will get
streaks which will impair the driver's
vision.
Do not use solvents, gasoline, kerosene,
or paint thinner to clean wipers. These
are harsh and can damage the blades
and painted surfaces.
