WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Technical Service
BULLETIN
December 7, 2001

The following procedures are recommended to maintain windshield wiper blade
performance.
All models.
OP CODEDESCRIPTIONTIMEOPNT1T2
N/ANot Applicable to Warranty±±±±
Recommendations for Windshield Wiper Maintenance, Cleaning and Use:
1. Scheduled Maintenance
Check wiper rubber blades every 4 ± 6 months or 7,500 miles for wear, cracking
and contamination.
Clean glass and rubber wiper blades if blades are not clearing glass adequately.
If this does not correct the problem, then replace the rubber elements.
2. Cleaning Procedure
Wiper Rubber: Bugs, dirt, sap and road grime on blades will cause streaking.
Clean wiper rubber of road and environmental debris using cloth or paper towel
soaked with windshield washer fluid or mild detergent.
DO NOT USE fuel, kerosene, or petroleum based products to clean rubber wiper
blades.
Windshield: Bugs, road grime, sap and car wash wax treatments decrease wiper
performance.
Rinse windshield with water and apply non±abrasive cleaner, such as Bon±Ami
(www.faultless.com), with a sponge.
NOTE:
Make sure to use plenty of water with all powder based cleaners so the glass is
not scratched.
