WINDSHIELDS
Proper care and maintenance of your windshield is critical to maintain good visibility and safe
operation of the coach.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keeping your windshield clean will provide optimum visibility to view the road ahead. Should you encounter rock chips or
cracks, have them fixed by an automotive glass professional immediately to avoid costly windshield replacement. If the
crack spreads, replacement may be necessary.
CAUTION
Do not operate the windshield wipers with damaged blades, as they may cause damage to the glass. Damage
to glass by rocks, damaged wipers, or other foreign objects are not warrantable repairs.
Check the windshield washer fluid level prior to each trip, and top off the fluid reservoir as needed.
WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT
When replacing a windshield, Newmar highly recommends purchasing the new windshield through the Newmar Parts
department to ensure proper windshield fit. Customers and dealers have experienced many size and installation issues
when attempting to use aftermarket windshields. If your windshield needs replaced, make sure that your dealer or glass
replacement company purchases the replacement windshield directly from Newmar.
WIPER SYSTEMS
Proper care and maintenance of your wiper blades is critical to maintain good visibility and safe
operation of the coach.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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. Damage to glass by rocks, damaged wipers, or other foreign objects are not warrantable
repairs.
