WIPER BLADE
REPLACEMENT
Properly functioning windshield wipers
are essential for clean vision and safe
driving. Regularly check the condition
of the wiper blades. Replace hard, brittle
or cracked blades or those that smear
dirt on the windshield.
Foreign material on the windshield or
wiper blades can reduce the effectiveness
of the wipers. If the blades are not wiping
properly, clean both the windshield and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent. Rinse them thoroughly with
water.
Repeat the process, if necessary. There
is no way to remove traces of silicone
from glass. Therefore never apply
silicone polish or wax polish to your
vehicle's windshield or you will get
streak, blade chatter or blade noise that
impairs the dirver's vision.
Do not use solvents, gasoline, kerosene,
or paint thinner to clean wipers. These
are harsh and can damage the blades
and painted surfaces.
