SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 305
WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and
the windshield and rear window periodically
with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt, waxes, or road film, and
help reduce streaking and smearing.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield or rear window.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
ice from the windshield or rear window. Make
sure that they are not frozen to the glass before
turning them on to avoid damaging the blade.
Keep the wiper blade out of contact with
petroleum products such as engine oil,
gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical area and frequency
of use. If chattering, marks, water lines or wet
spots are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace as necessary.

1. Lift the wiper arm to raise the wiper blade
