Wipers and Washers

CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES

Wipers and Washers
Only use cleaning products which have
been approved for use on automotive glass
and rubber. Inappropriate products may
cause damage.
Periodically check and clean the wiping
edge of the wiper blade. Clean the blade
edge by wiping with a soft cloth or sponge,
using warm soapy water.
Also, check the blade rubber for cracks,
splits and roughness. If any damage is
found, replace the blade immediately to
prevent damage to the glass.

REPLACING THE WIPER BLADES

Install only replacement wiper blades that
are the same length and identical to the
original specification.
1. Release the locking lever securing the
wiper blade to the wiper arm.

2. Lift the wiper arm away from the
windshield.
3. Slide the wiper blade from the wiper arm
and remove.
To install the new blade, position the new
assembly on the wiper arm and close the
locking lever to retain the wiper blade. Make
sure the locking lever is securely closed.
WASHERS
If a windshield washer becomes blocked,
use a thin strand of wire to clear any
blockages from the nozzle.
Note: The headlamp washers operate with
every fifth operation of the windshield
washer. If you have any problems with the
headlamp washers, please consult a local
Fisker Automotive Retailer.
