Wiper Blades - Porsche 911 GT3 Owner's Manual

Wiper Blades

Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
f Replace the wiper blades twice per year
(before and after the cold season) or whenever
wiper performance deteriorates.
Caution!
Risk of damage if the wiper arm accidentally
falls back on to the window.
f Always hold the wiper arm securely when repla-
cing the wiper blade.
Risk of damage if wiper blades that are
frozen in place are loosened improperly.
f Thaw the wiper blades before loosening them.
Maintenance note
f Periodically clean the wiper blades with
window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
We recommend the Porsche window cleaner. If
they are very dirty (e.g. with insect remains),
the windows can be cleaned with a sponge or
cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this can be as a
result of the following:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the winds-
hield. These wax residues can be removed
only by using window cleaner concentrate.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
f Replace damaged or worn wiper blades as
soon as possible.
f Please see the chapter "WASHER FLUID" on
Page 170.
f Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer
for further information.
Changing windshield wiper blades
f Please follow the separate instructions for
fitting wiper blades as supplied by the
manufacturer.
f We recommend that you get your authorized
Porsche dealer to replace the wiper blades.
Caution!
Risk of damage.
If a wiper blade is not changed properly, it
can come loose when the car is moving.
f Check whether the wiper blade is seated
securely.
The wiper blade must engage the wiper arm
properly.
