3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the wiper cover deflectors:
- Identify Placement: Determine the correct placement for the left (L) and right (R) covers on your vehicle's windshield side grille area. Refer to the diagrams below for guidance.
- Clean Surface: Thoroughly clean the installation area on your vehicle to ensure it is free of dust, dirt, wax, or grease. Use an automotive-grade cleaner and allow the surface to dry completely.
- Prepare Adhesive: The covers come with pre-applied 3M adhesive tape on the underside. Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive strips.
- Align and Press: Align each cover precisely with its intended position on the windshield side grille. Once aligned, press firmly along the entire surface of the cover for at least 30 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
- Curing Time: Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the installed covers to heavy moisture for at least 24-48 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the wiper cover deflectors operate passively. They are designed to:
- Protect Wiper Mechanism: Shield the base of the windshield wipers from debris, leaves, and other foreign objects.
- Improve Drainage: Help direct water flow away from the windshield grille area, preventing accumulation and potential issues.
No active operation is required from the user after installation.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your wiper cover deflectors:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the covers periodically with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic material.
- Inspect Adhesion: Occasionally check the edges of the covers to ensure the adhesive remains secure. If any part begins to lift, re-apply pressure or consider using additional automotive-grade adhesive if necessary.
- Debris Removal: Remove any accumulated leaves or debris from around and under the covers to maintain proper drainage.
6. Troubleshooting
- Cover is Loose: If a cover becomes loose, ensure the surface was properly cleaned before initial installation. Re-clean the area and the cover, then apply new automotive-grade double-sided adhesive tape to secure it firmly.
- Water Accumulation: If water appears to be accumulating despite the covers, check their alignment. Ensure they are positioned correctly to guide water away from the drain panel.
