Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Bosch H306 Rear Wiper Blade operates automatically with your vehicle's rear wiper system. Activate your rear wiper as needed for clear visibility during rain, snow, or when the rear window is dirty.

• Ensure the wiper arm is free of obstructions before activation.
• Use windshield washer fluid for optimal cleaning, especially when dealing with dirt or grime.
• The specialty coated natural rubber is designed for smooth, quiet operation, minimizing noise and streaking.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your wiper blade ensures optimal performance and longevity.

• Clean Regularly: Wipe the rubber blade edge with a damp cloth or a mild glass cleaner to remove dirt, oil, and road grime. This helps prevent streaking.
• Inspect for Wear: Periodically check the rubber blade for cracks, tears, or hardening. Replace the blade if you notice any signs of wear or if it starts to streak or chatter.
• Avoid Ice Scrapers: Do not use ice scrapers on the rubber blade, as this can damage the material.
• Winter Care: In freezing conditions, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield when parked to prevent the blade from freezing to the glass.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Bosch H306 Rear Wiper Blade, consider the following common solutions:

• Streaking:
  • Clean the wiper blade and windshield thoroughly.
  • Check for debris lodged in the blade.
  • If cleaning doesn't help, the blade may be worn and require replacement.
• Chattering/Squeaking:
  • Ensure the wiper arm is not bent or damaged, causing uneven pressure.
  • Clean the blade and windshield.
  • Extreme temperatures can sometimes cause temporary chattering; it may resolve as temperatures normalize.
• Incomplete Wipe:
  • Verify the blade is correctly installed and fully seated on the wiper arm.
  • Check if the wiper arm spring tension is adequate. A weak spring may not apply enough pressure.
  • The blade may be worn and need replacement.
