WIPER BLADES
Wiper blade maintenance
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
✽
✽
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Windshield wiper blade replace-
ment
When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
✽
✽
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper arms or
other components, do not attempt to
move the wipers manually.
✽
✽
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified wiper blade
could result in wiper malfunction and
failure.
1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the wiper
blade assembly to expose the plastic
locking clip.
✽
✽
NOTICE
Do not allow the wiper arm to fall
against the windshield, since it may chip
or crack the windshield.
