matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.

the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-

tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades don’t wipe
properly, clean both the window and the
blades with a good cleaner or mild deter-
gent, and rinse thoroughly with clean
water. G180200AUN Blade replacement When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
