Slimy marks on glass | |
| The rubber is dirty | Clean the rubber petals with a stiff nylon brush and water-based detergent or alcohol |
| Rubber fringe, rubber cracked or worn out | Replace rubber petals |
| The rubber has aged and cracked | Replace rubber petals |
The remaining water after washing collects in droplets on the glass | |
| The windshield is contaminated with polish or oil | Clean the glass with a clean cloth and oil-silicone stain remover |
The janitor cleans well on one side, but poorly on the other, and rattles | |
| Changing the shape of the rubber on one side of the wiper "no longer tips over" | Install new rubber petals |
| The wiper arm is twisted, the wiper is at an angle relative to the glass | Carefully straighten the wiper arm to its normal position |
Unwashed surfaces | |
| The rubber blade slipped out of the wiper blade | Install the rubber petal in place |
| The wiper blade does not adhere evenly to the glass | Replace the rubber petal. This malfunction occurs most often when the rubber petal is installed incorrectly |
