This document provides guidance on windshield wiper blade and element maintenance for Chrysler vehicles. It states that wiper blades and elements are often replaced unnecessarily when a simple cleaning would solve streaking or chattering issues. A film can build up on the windshield and blades from environmental conditions. The document recommends cleaning the windshield and raising the blades to clean the rubber inserts with approved solvents or an alcohol/water solution before replacing blades, as normal maintenance is usually all that is required to correct streaking. Blades should only be replaced if cleaning does not resolve the streaking or chattering.

SUBJECT: Windshield Wiper Blade/Element Maintenance MODELS: All All All Chrysler Group Vehicles

DISCUSSION: Windshield wiper blades/elements are frequently replaced unnecessarily. Because of the environmental conditions vehicles can be operated in, a film can build up on both the windshield and the windshield wiper elements that will cause poor cleaning/streaking of the windshield, and in some instances, a chattering condition as the wipers blades travel across the windshield. Replacement of the wiper blades/elements is normally NOT required to correct streaking issues. A simple NORMAL MAINTENANCE cleaning of the wiper blades/elements and windshield is all that is required. If the wipe pattern appears to be streaky or if there is chatter and no damage to the wiper blades/elements is obvious, the following steps should be performed: 1. Use a soft cloth or sponge & squeegee and MOPAR Windshield Washer Solvent (p/n 04318067AB, 16 Oz. bottle or p/n 04318068AB, 32 Oz. bottle), MOPAR Glass Cleaner (p/n 04897623AB, 16 Oz. bottle) or a solution of 50/50 alcohol and water, to wash the windshield. 2. Raise the wiper blades off the glass and clean the wiper blade elements (rubber insert) with MOPAR Windshield Washer Solvent or a solution of 50/50 alcohol and water and a soft cloth, paper towel or sponge. 3. Return the wiper blades to their normal operating position and function the washer system. If the wiper blades/elements are not streaking the windshield or chattering, replacing the blade assembly(ies) is not necessary. If the wipe pattern is still objectionable, repeat step 2 several times. If the wipe pattern is still objectionable, replace the wiper blades/elements. POLICY: Information Only
