3601561A
Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release
it from the hook.
Install the new blade (installation is the reverse
of removal) and make sure that it is properly
attached to the wiper arm.
NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should
change the windshield wiper blades as soon as
they start to leave marks on the windshield or
fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of
wiper blades, clean them with a stiff-bristle
brush and warm, soapy water as part of a
normal car wash.
Cleaning the outside of the
windshield and wiper blades
If the windshield 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.
