Wiper Arm Chatter

If the wipers chatter or shudder when wiping the windshield, the windshield and/or inserts may need cleaning. Use a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami� to clean the windshield. Continue cleaning until water sheets off the windshield. Use undiluted windshield wiper/washer solvent and a clean, lint-free cloth to clean wiper inserts.

CAUTION: Avoid prolonged skin contact with washer solvent to avoid damage to your skin over exposure may cause central nervous system effects.

When marking the windshield for inside rear view mirror replacement or any other purpose, use only a water-soluble marker to make marks on the windshield. Other types of markers may damage the wiper inserts. The chemicals that are used to remove other types of markers may damage the paint, glass, inserts, or leave a residue on the glass that could lead to chatter.

Wiper arms must not be subjected to temperatures above 70° C (160° F). Remove wiper arms before any painting operations that include the use of an oven to cure the paint.
