Regular maintenance of windshield wipers is crucial for optimal performance. Wiper blades should be washed regularly with a mild detergent solution to remove road film that can accumulate and affect efficiency. Periodic inspection of the windshield wiper and blade assembly is essential to catch any signs of rubber deterioration or cracking. If the rubber is found to be hardened or cracked, prompt replacement of the wiper blades is recommended. Additionally, check and tighten the fasteners of the wiper mechanism during inspections. For Tridon blades, park the wiper blades in a convenient position, lift the blade slightly, press the spring lock to release the blade, and replace it with a new assembly. For Tridon blades with replaceable elements, locate the TRIDON stamp, insert a coin or screwdriver to release the blade element, and install the new element securely. Early Tricoblades replacement involves lifting the wiper arm, prying one end of the element out, sliding the new element into retaining tabs, and securing the blade back onto the wiper arm. For later Tricoblades, park the wiper blades, use a screwdriver to release the blade, separate the element from the retaining tab, insert the new element into the tabs, and secure it before locking the blade onto the pivot pin.
