Maintenance and Care

Owner Maintenance

Form No. 8R29-EA-02I

Contamination of either the windshield or

the blades with foreign matter can reduce

wiper effectiveness. Common sources are

insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments

used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,

clean the window and blades with a good

cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse

thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if

necessary.

Replacing Windshield Wiper

Blades

When the wipers no longer clean well, the

blades are probably worn or cracked.

Replace them.

1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the blade

assembly to expose the plastic locking

clip.

Compress the clip and slide the

assembly downward; then lift it off the

arm.

Wiper Blades

Hot waxes applied by automatic car

washes have been known to affect the

cleanability of windows.

To prevent damage to the wiper blades,

don’t use gasoline, kerosene, paint

thinner, or other solvents on or near

them.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the wiper arms

and other components, don’t move the

wipers by hand.

NOTE

To prevent damage to the wiper arm

blades when raising both the driver and

passenger side wiper arms, raise the

driver side wiper arm first. Conversely,

when setting down the wiper arms, set

the passenger side wiper arm down

first.

CAUTION

Push
