Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Remove Old Blade: Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield. Locate the release tab on the old wiper blade and detach it from the arm.
- Install New Blade: Slide the hook of the wiper arm into the aperture of the Blue Print AD15CH380. Ensure it clicks securely into place.

Compatibility:
This wiper blade is specifically designed for vehicles with hook-type wiper arm fittings. The 380mm (15 inch) length is a common size, but always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional to confirm fitment. Incorrect fitment can lead to poor performance and potential damage.
Care:
- Periodically clean the rubber edge of the blade with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that can cause streaking.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents on the rubber.
- Ensure the wiper arms are not left in the 'parked' position against the edge of the windshield for extended periods in extreme heat or cold, as this can deform the blade.
