WIPER BLADES

Commercial hot waxes applied by

automatic car washes have been

known to make the windscreen diffi-

cult to clean.

Contamination of either the wind-

screen or the wiper blades with for-

eign matter can reduce the effective-

ness of the windscreen wipers.

Common sources of contamination

are insects, tree sap, and hot wax

treatments used by some commer-

cial car washes. If the blades are not

wiping properly, clean both the win-

dow and the blades with a good

cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse

thoroughly with clean water.

To prevent damage to the wiper

blades, do not use petrol,

kerosene, paint thinner, or other

solvents on or near them.

When the wipers no longer clean

adequately, 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

The use of a non-specified

wiper blade could result in

wiper malfunction and failure.
