Warning! Carrying out maintenance and repair work on the windshield wiper is associated with the risk of injury. To avoid triggering the windshield wiper mechanism, remove the key from the ignition switch while performing work.
Windscreen wiper rubber band - replacement
The rubber strip is subject to replacement if the glass cleaning quality is poor. Both windshield wiper blades as a set and rubber strips for the blades separately are available for sale. If only the rubber strip is replaced, do not bend its holder when replacing it.
Caution! If the wiper blade vibrates when moving across the glass, this does not always mean that the blade or rubber band needs to be replaced. The angle of the wiper arms should be checked or adjusted again.
Removal
1. Move the wiper arms together with the blades away from the glass.
2. Place the brush at a right angle to the lever.
3. Press the lock lever A and remove the brush holder B from the lever by pulling it down (see arrows in the illustration).
4. Squeeze both steel guide bars with pliers and loosen the tape fastening bracket at the upper end of the brush. Then loosen the brackets along the entire length of the brush and remove the rubber strip together with the steel guides (see illustration).
Installation
5. Attach the new rubber band to the brackets without installing the guide bar.
6. Place both guide strips on the end of the rubber band so that the protrusions on the guides face the band and fit into the grooves.
7. Use pliers to squeeze both guides on the rubber band and secure them to the upper end of the brush by inserting them into the locking holes of the mounting bracket (see illustration).
8. Place the brush on the arm and secure it to the retaining hook. If the cleaner has a fairing, it should be facing downwards.
9. Return the windshield wiper arm to its original position. Make sure that the rubber strip is in contact with the glass along its entire length. If necessary, carefully bend the arm.
Windscreen washer jets - adjustment
10. Adjust with a needle (see illustration) direction of the jet of washing liquid from the jets. To do this, insert a needle into the jet nozzle and mark the point on the glass where the opposite end of the needle points.
11. Adjust the position of the jets so that the jets of washer fluid hit the points marked on the windshield.
The jets can be cleaned with compressed air. To do this, the jets must be removed and blown with compressed air through the windshield washer hose connection.
Caution! Do not blow out the jets from the nozzle side.
If the jet cannot be adjusted or the fluid is supplied unevenly, the jet should be replaced.
