Note. Recommended interval: every 12,000 km or 6 months.
Wiper blades in perfect condition are a prerequisite for good visibility.
To prevent the brushes from becoming deformed, they should be cleaned regularly with glass cleaner. If the brushes are heavily soiled, such as insect residues, clean them with a sponge or a clean cloth.
It is recommended to replace the wiper blades once or twice a year.
In case of frost, before the trip, check if the brushes are frozen to the glass.
During an automatic car wash, wax particles can get on the windshield. To remove them, add a glass cleaner that has the property of dissolving wax into the windshield washer reservoir.
Filling the fluid reservoir with a glass cleaner with wax-dissolving properties can significantly improve the performance of the windshield wipers. Grease-dissolving cleaners do not completely remove wax from glass.
Replace damaged brushes.
Raise the wiper arm away from the windshield. Rotate the wiper blade 90°to the wiper arm.
