Replacing windshield wiper blades
Contamination of the windshield wiper blades and various substances reduces the quality of cleaning glass. Examples of these contaminants include, for example insects, juice, secreted by the leaves of trees, as well as polishes, which are applied in a hot car body at some car washes. If the brush is difficult to remove the glass, flush glass and blade brushes effective cleaner or mild detergent, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. If necessary, repeat the treatment of glass and brushes. Poor performance of the wiper can be caused by wear or cracked blades brushes. Replace worn blades or brushes. 1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the brush with respect to the hinge so as to allow access to the plastic foot lock.

Move the brush down (clockwise, as shown in Figure 1.182). Then remove the brush from the wiper arm. 2. Bend the bottom end of the rubber blade and pull it out of the holder. 3. Remove the spring from the edges of the rubber blade and insert them in the new blade brush. 4. Carefully insert the new rubber blade. Then set the brush assembly on the wiper arm, in reverse order.
