washer solution will be sprinkled all over the windshield or rear window .
. Grease , wax , insects , or other material on the windshield or the wiper blade results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass . If you cannot remove the streaks after operating the windshield washer or if the wiper operation is jerky , clean the outer surface of the windshield and rear window using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner . Do not , however , use detergent to clean the blade rubbers . Use only a sponge or soft cloth ( and no neutral detergent or mild abrasive cleaner ) when you clean the blade rubbers . If you wipe the rubber of the blade strongly , the black coating component will peel off , which will cause the wiper to judder . Also , after wiping it off , check that the rubber has not come loose . After cleaning the window glass and wiper blade rubbers , be sure to rinse them with clean water . Rinse the window until the water does not form beads on the glass . This indicates that the glass is clean .
. 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 ” FP547 .
. If the wipers do not operate when the wiper switch is in the “ ” position , turn the wiper switch to the “ ” position . In this case , contact your SUBARU dealer .
