CLEANING AND INSPECTION
WIPER BLADES
Wiper blades exposed to the weather for a long
period of time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is recommended
to remove the accumulation of salt and road grime.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
Fig. 18 Wiper Motor and Linkage Module
The wiper blades, arms and windshield should be
cleaned with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent
or nonabrasive cleaner. If the wiper blades continue
to streak or smear, they should be replaced. The
wiper blade should run smoothly across the wind-
shield in both directions. The wiper blade should
slightly roll over center when the blade reverses
direction. A wiper blade insert that has lost flexibility
or a wiper arm that has lost spring tension, will
cause the blade to skip or chatter across the wind-
shield. If the wiper blades are new and the wiper
arm spring tension is OK and a chattering sound is
emitted from the wiper(s), the wiper blade is not roll-
ing over center. If this condition exists, refer to the
Wiper Arm Alignment paragraph of this group.
ADJUSTMENTS
WIPER ARM
High speed, wet windshield operation, the right
blade tip may override the cowl screen slightly. This
is normal and should not affect wiper system perfor-
mance.
(1) Lift arms and blade assemble to a over cen-
tered position.
(2) Turn ignition switch to ON or ACC position.
