Wiper Blade: Description and Operation

Wiper blades, exposed to the weather for a long period of time, tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is suggested to remove the accumulation of salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms, and windshield should be cleaned with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner. If the blades continue to streak or smear, they should be replaced. The right and left wipers are different blade lengths. The driver side length is 550 mm and the passenger side length is 475 mm. The blades should not be interchanged.
