Windshields
Keeping your windshield clean will provide optimum visibility to view the road ahead. Should you encounter rock chips or
cracks, have them fixed by a automotive glass professional immediately to avoid costly windshield replacement. If the
crack spreads, replacement may be necessary.
Do not operate the windshield wipers with damaged blades, as they may cause damage to the windshield
glass.
Damage to glass by rocks, damaged wipers, or other foreign objects are not warrantable repairs.

Wiper Systems
Clean the
rubber element every time you fill your gas tank, and remove loose dirt and road grime from the
windshield.
When
washing your coach, use a small amount of non-abrasive glass cleaner on a wet sponge to clean both
the
windshield and the rubber wiping elements. In colder climates,
use an ice scraper to remove snow and ice. Using
your
wipers to de-ice your windshield can damage the blades, as well as the arm and wiper motor.
Streaking, chattering, and worn blades may be caused by dry rubber that has hardened and cracked. Streaking can also
be caused by oil, tree sap, road tar, or other foreign substances on the blade rubber or windshield. Chattering sounds
as
the blade passes across the windshield are caused by the “deformity” or “curve” in the rubber that some wiper blades
develop over time.
Worn, damaged, or split
rubber around the wiping edge is generally caused by age and use, but
may
be due to the effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays on the rubber. Damage may also be caused by ice scrapers, automatic
car washes, or vandalism. Replace your windshield wiper blades when they become worn or damaged.
