Blade Inspection

Contamination of either the windshield or

the wiper blades with foreign matter can

reduce the effectiveness of the wind-

shield wiper functionality. Common

sources of contamination are insects,

tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by

some commercial car washes. If the

blades are not wiping properly, clean

both the window and the blades with a

clean cloth dampened with washer fluid.

To prevent damage to the wiper

blades, arms or other components, do

• Use gasoline, kerosene, paint thin-

ner, or other solvents on or near

• Attempt to move the wipers manual-

• Use non-specified wiper blades.

Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-

matic car washes have been known to

make the windshield difficult to clean.

When the wipers no longer clean ade-

quately, 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.
