14.15.7 Windows and Wiper Blades
The front/rear windshield, side windows and the wiper blades should be cleaned
regularly. If the wipers do not wipe properly, substances on the vehicle's glass or the
wiper blades may be the cause. These may include hot wax treatments used by
commercial car washes, water repellent coatings, tree sap, or other organic
contamination; these contaminants may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the
blades, and streaking and smearing of the windshield.
To clean these items follow these tips;
•
The windshield, rear windows and side windows may be cleaned with a non-
abrasive cleaner such as Clear Spray Glass Cleaner, available at your Authorized
Mahindra Dealer.
•
The wiper blades can be cleaned with alcohol or Premium Windshield Washer
Concentrate, available at your Authorized Mahindra Dealer. This washer fluid
contains a special solution in addition to alcohol which helps remove the hot wax
deposited on the wiper blade and windshield. Be sure to replace wiper blades
when they appear worn or do not function properly.
•
Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
