SERVICE TIPS
1. Remove road film and oil deposits from the glass with the application of Land Rover 'Screen Cleaning
Paste', following the instructions on the container.
2. Examine the wiping edge of the wiper blade; if free from wear, scoring or deterioration, operate the
windshield washer and wiper functions to check the wiper judder or streaking has been rectified.
3. There should be no requirement to replace the wiper blade assembly or wiper arm, unless there is a
manufacturing defect in one of these components.
4. The glass should always be cleaned using Land Rover 'Screen Cleaning Paste' immediately before
installing a new wiper blade assembly.
