over the windshield or rear window.
. Grease, wax, insects or other material
on the windshield or the blade
rubbers results in jerky wiper operation
and streaking on the glass. If you
cannot remove those streaks after
operating the washer or if the wiper
operation is jerky, clean the outer surface
of the windshield or rear window
and the blade rubbers using a sponge
or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or
mild abrasive cleaner. After cleaning,
rinse the window glass and blade
rubbers with clean water. The glass is
clean if no beads form on the glass
when you rinse with water.
. If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after following this procedure,
replace the wiper blades (or blade
rubbers) with new ones. For replacement
instructions, refer to “Replacement
of Wiper Blades” ☞P503.
