Troubleshooting

Wiper blade is streaking or not clearing the windshield effectively.

Ensure the blade is correctly seated on the wiper arm. Clean the rubber edge of the blade with water and a soft cloth. If the issue persists, the blade may be worn and requires replacement.

Wiper blade chatters or skips across the glass.

Check the wiper arm tension; it should apply even pressure. Clean the windshield and the blade. If the problem continues, the blade's flexor may be damaged, necessitating replacement.

Wiper blade does not fit the wiper arm.

Double-check the vehicle fitment using the provided tool. Ensure you are using the correct connector type for your specific vehicle model. Contact customer support if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to use the make and model tool to confirm that the Denso DRA-040 is compatible with your specific Subaru Forester, Impreza, or Honda Insight. Cross-reference part numbers like BOSCH 3 397 011 434, H410, NWB GRA-40, and TRICO EX404 if you have existing part numbers.

Installation: The wiper blade includes an installation manual with graphics. Generally, this involves:

  1. Lifting the rear wiper arm away from the glass.
  2. Removing the old wiper blade by releasing its locking mechanism.
  3. Aligning the new DRA-040 blade with the wiper arm connector.
  4. Securing the new blade until it clicks into place.
  5. Gently lowering the wiper arm back onto the glass.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the wiper blade's rubber edge with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If the blade shows signs of wear, streaking, or damage, it should be replaced.
