Wiper Blades
Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
f Replace the wiper blades twice per year (be-
fore and after the cold season) or whenever
wiper performance deteriorates.
Caution!
Risk of damage if the wiper arm accidentally
falls back on to the window.
f Always hold the wiper arm securely when re-
placing the wiper blade.
Risk of damage if wiper blades that are fro-
zen in place are loosened improperly.
f Thaw the wiper blades before loosening them.
Maintenance note
f Periodically clean the wiper blades with win-
dow cleaner, especially after the vehicle has
been washed in a car wash.
We recommend the Porsche window cleaner. If
they are very dirty (e.g. with insect remains),
they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this can be as a
result of the following:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the wind-
shield. These wax residues can be removed
only by using window cleaner concentrate.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
f Replace damaged or worn wiper blades as
soon as possible.
f Please see the chapter “WASHER FLUID” on
Page 220.
f Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer
for further information.
Changing windshield wiper blades
f Please read the separate instructions for fitting
wiper blades as supplied by the manufacturer.
f We recommend that you get your authorized
Porsche dealer to replace the wiper blades.
Caution!
Risk of damage.
If the wiper blades are not changed properly,
they can come loose when the car is moving.
f Check that the wiper blades are seated
securely. The wiper blades must engage
properly in the wiper arm.
