Blade Inspection

Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wiper func-
tionality. Common sources of con-
tamination 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.

• Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.

Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.

Blade Replacement

adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-

function and failure.
