Wiper Rubbers, Removing And Installing
NOTE: The following procedure is not applicable to the "Aero-wiper" wiper arm/blade design installed as a running change during m.y. 2002. Replace complete "Aero-wiper" blade assembly.
Removing
CAUTION:
- Switch off all electrical consumers.
- Switch ignition off and remove ignition key.
- At the closed end of the wiper rubber, press both chrome steel strips together and pull out from the upper wiper blade clip. Remove (slide out) rubber complete with strips from the remaining clips.
Installing
- Slide new rubber through wiper blade clips.
- Insert both strips in the first groove of the rubber so that the recesses in the strips face the rubber and engage in the rubber lugs of the groove.
- Using pliers press both steel strips and rubber together and insert in the clips so that the lugs of the clips on both sides engage in the retaining slots (arrow) of the wiper blade rubber.
