wiper blade into place. Check that the new blade is properly attached to the wiper arm.
Cleaning the outside of the windshield and wiper blades
If the windshield/tailgate is not clear after using the wiper(s) or if the blade chatters when running, wax
or other material may be on the blade or on the surface of the glass.
Clean the glass with a suitable cleaning agent. The glass is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it
with water.
Clean the wiper blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer
solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.
