Wiper Blade Skipping, Correcting

NOTE: Possible causes for wiper blades skipping:
- Windshield is scratched
- Wiper blade rubber has become detached from arm or is split
- Wiper arm or blade is loose or bent
- Wiper blades are coated with wax or road grime

If the wiper blades are skipping and none of the causes listed apply, check and, if necessary, adjust the angle of the wiper arms relative to the windshield before installing new wiper blades.
