The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
standard with a layer of graphite. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is silent. If
the graphite layer is damaged, the noise of the
water as it is wiped across the windscreen will
be louder.

larly. If the wipers scrape across the glass,

the setting angle of the windscreen wiper arms
might be incorrect. They should be checked by

sary.
