windshield wiper blades.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area's
weather conditions where the car
is used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks on the glass,
water lines or wet spots. If any of these
conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield/rear window
glasses periodically with a sponge
or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive
cleaner. This will remove accumulations
of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for
long periods may cause deterioration of
the wiper blades.
Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove
frost or ice from the windshield. Keep
the blade rubber out of contact with
petroleum products such as engine oil,
gasoline, etc.
Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check that
there is fluid in the tank (see paragraph
"Level checks" in this section) then
check that the nozzles are not clogged.
Windshield Wiper Blades Replacement
