12.10.7 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.
•
Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any glass
parts.
If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass
cleaner or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky motion, clean
the outer surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a
