Replacement of wiper blades

Grease, wax, insects, or other materials

on the windshield or the wiper blade

results in jerky wiper operation and streak-

ing on the glass. If you cannot remove the

streaks after operating the windshield

washer or if the wiper operation is jerky,

clean the outer surface of the windshield

(or rear window) and the wiper blades

using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral

detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After

cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper

blades with clean water. The windshield is

clean if beads do not form when you rinse

the windshield with water.

with gasoline or a solvent, such

as paint thinner or benzine. This

will cause deterioration of the

wiper blades.
