WIPER BLADES

Commercial hot waxes applied by

automatic vehicle washes have been

known to make the windshield diffi-

cult to clean.

Contamination of either the wind-

shield or the wiper blades with for-

eign matter can reduce the effective-

ness of the windshield wipers.

Common sources of contamination

are insects, tree sap, and hot wax

treatments used by some commer-

cial vehicle washes. If the blades are

not wiping properly, clean both the

window and the blades with a good

cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse

thoroughly with clean water.

To prevent damage to the wiper

blades, do not use gasoline,

kerosene, paint thinner, or other

solvents on or near them.

When the wipers no longer clean

adequately, the blades may be worn

or cracked, and require replacement.

To prevent damage to the wiper arms

or other components, do not attempt

to move the wipers manually.

The use of a non-specified wiper

blade could result in wiper malfunc-

tion and failure.
