Q: What should be inspected periodically for damage, loose components, and cracked or worn blade elements on Ford Taurus?
A: Inspect windshield wiper and blade assembly for damage, loose components, and worn elements. Clean blades regularly with mild detergent. Replace cracked or worn blades. On 2007 and earlier models, lift arm, rotate blade, and slide off. On 2008 and later models, lift arm, press locking tabs, and slide assembly out. To attach new blade, depress locking tab, push tabs inwards, and confirm connection with click.
