!
Never open the hood when the wiper

of the impact from the tensioning
spring could crack the windshield.
Do not allow the wiper arms to contact
the windshield glass without a wiper
blade inserted.

properly installed. Improperly installed
wiper blades may cause windshield
damage.

that you have this work carried out by
