Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These Michelin Stealth Ultra wiper blades are designed for easy DIY installation. They come with various connectors to fit different wiper arms. Typically, the process involves releasing the old wiper blade, attaching the new blade using the provided adapter, and securing it. Always refer to the specific instructions included with the product for your vehicle's wiper arm type.
Compatibility:
This 17-inch blade is designed to fit 96% of the EU car park. However, it is essential to verify your vehicle's specific wiper blade size requirement before purchasing to ensure a proper fit. The 'Hybrid' designation indicates it uses a hybrid connector system, which is common but not universal.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your wiper blades:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the rubber blade with a clean, damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and debris.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the rubber blade.
- Windshield Washer Fluid: Use adequate washer fluid when cleaning the windshield; driving with dry blades can cause damage.
- Lift Wipers: In freezing temperatures, consider lifting the wiper arms off the windshield to prevent them from freezing to the glass, or use the vehicle's defrost settings effectively.
