Blade replacement

When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked. Replace the wipers with new ones.

To prevent damage:

  • NEVER use non-specified wiper blades.

  • Lift the wiper arms when in the top wiping position.

  • Always return the wiper arms to the windshield before driving.

Wiper blades are subject to wear and tear.

To maintain optimal wiper blade performance, check the wiper blades every 6 months.

Normal wear of the wipers may not be covered by your vehicle warranty.
