Important Reminders

• Be careful when replacing your wipers. When removing a wiper blade, the wiper arm will stay up as long as it is left undisturbed. But beware! In normal position, a powerful spring is there to hold it against the windshield. If the arm is touched, it might suddenly spring back onto the windshield without the wiper blade on and risks instantly breaking the windshield.
• To avoid any accidents, place the arm delicately onto the windshield. Before doing so, place a folded piece of paper towel on the windshield to protect it.
