Windshield Wipers

Check the condition of the wind-
shield wiper blades at least every six

months. Look for signs of cracking
in the rubber, or areas that are

getting hard. Replace the blades if
you find these signs, or they leave
streaks and unwiped areas when
used.

To replace the blade:

1. Raise the wiper arm off the

windshield.

2. Disconnect the blade assembly

from the wiper arm by pushing in
the lock tab. Hold it in while you
push the blade assembly toward
the base of the arm.
