wipers are in shape
for use in bad weather
39 Main Street S., Seaforth
As with so many other
vital components on your
car, your windshield wip-
ers are most likely to ,fail
just when you need them
the most like, during the
next storm.
In the summer, heat,
smog, and even your serv-
ice station attendant's
windshield washer spray
are working together to
reduce the efficiency of
your wiper system. It's no
wonder, after sitting quiet-
ly on your windshield and
deteriorating day-in and
day-out, that they often
fail to do their job.
Cheek when raining
The best time to check
your windshield wiper sys-
tem is during a rainstorm.
Or you can check it the
next time you go through
a car wash. You can also
perform a good check
while someone sprays your
windshield with a garden
hose.
However you chdose to
check your wipers, you
should check thern on both
the fast and slow speeds.
If any trouble symptoms
are present, you should
replace as much of your
wiper system as is neces-
sary to eliminate the prob-
lem, In many cases, all
that is needed are new
squeegees (the rubber
Parts that contact the
.windshield).
Itepiae e both blades
When You do replace all
or part of your wiper
blades, Make sure you re-
place both sides at the same time. If one wiper is
shot, it's a good bet the
other one is about to go,
too, Safe VisiOn during
hazardous road conditions
is too iMportant to risk
for a few dollars.
Here are five visikile or'
audible indicators that
will signal the need for
attention to your wind-
shield wipers,. Clear drly-
ing vision is especially im-
portant during the bad
weather season. Check for
the following signs of mal-
functioning:
. STREAKING arcs
of unwiped moisture with-
in the ,wiping area.
2. HAZING -7, a thin,
hard - to - see - through -film
covering most or all of the
wiping area ,even after the
blade has just been wiped.
3. CHATTERING — a
"stuttering" motion of the
• blade accompanied by a
"chattering" noise as the
blade sweeps across the
windshield, with some
areas left unwiped.
4." SCALLOPING — a
ragged outer edge in the
wiping pattern.
5. RATTLING — no viS-
ible signs of -problems, but.
the wiper blade sounds as
if it were very loose'. Can
be reduced or eliminated
by switching _to polycar-
bonate blades,
