The condition of the windshield wiper assemblies should be checked regularly. Brushes are inspected for mechanical damage, signs of loosening of components and wear of rubber working elements.
Over time, a road film accumulates on the working surfaces of the brushes, which leads to a noticeable decrease in the efficiency of the windshield wipers. Clean the brushes regularly with a medium strength cleaning solution.
During the operation of the windshield wipers, a gradual spontaneous release of fasteners may occur, the reliability of fit and tightening of which should also be checked regularly (refer to accompanying illustration).
If cracks or signs of wear of rubber working elements are detected, they are replaced.
1. Move the wiper arm away from the glass. Squeeze out the locking tab, lower the brush down the lever, release it from the hook and remove (refer to accompanying illustration).
2. Using needle-nosed pliers, squeeze the rubber brush head and remove it from the metal frame (refer to accompanying illustration).
3. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Track reliability of fixing of a brush on the screen wiper lever.
