Seasonal Maintenance
If you own a Jeep Wrangler, it means that you are more than likely an adventurous soul and have no problem fording a river or tackling a mud pit with your favourite 4x4 vehicle. Due to the abrasive nature of mud and grime that accumulates during these off road excursions you will need to replace your windshield wipers often as the effectiveness will decrease over time. A seasonal change of your windshield wipers is quick and easy and you don't even need any tools to accomplish this task.
You will need:
- New wiper blades that fit your model year
- Soft cloth
Let's get started!
- Make sure that you have the proper replacement wiper blades for your year and model.
- Lift the wiper arm up.
- Push or pull the retaining clip downwards to release the old blade.
- Remove the old blade ( Don't let the wiper arm go or it will smash into your windscreen! )
- Insert the new blade and push/pull the retainer clip back into place.
- Wipe down the windscreen so as not to contaminate the rubber of the new blades
- Put the wiper arm back down.
- Test the system with the washer jets activated.
PRO TIP: DO NOT dry activate the new wipers if your windscreen is still dirty, the microscopic dirt will damage the new blades before they have had a chance to work.
