Operating Instructions

Rooppa wiper blades operate in conjunction with your vehicle's existing wiper system. To activate, use your vehicle's wiper control stalk or buttons. Ensure the windshield is wet before operating wipers to prevent damage to the blades or windshield.

Maintenance

To maximize the lifespan and performance of your wiper blades:

• Regularly clean the wiper blades with a soft cloth and windshield washer fluid to remove dirt, grime, and road film.
• Inspect blades periodically for cracks, tears, or hardening of the rubber. Replace if any damage is observed.
• Avoid using wipers on a dry windshield, as this can cause premature wear and streaking.
• In freezing conditions, ensure blades are not frozen to the windshield before operation. Gently lift them away or use a defroster.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your wiper blades, consider the following:

• Streaking or Smearing:
  • Clean the wiper blades and windshield thoroughly.
  • Check for any debris lodged in the blade rubber.
  • Ensure the wiper arm has proper tension against the windshield.
• Chattering or Skipping:
  • This can occur if the blade angle is incorrect. Ensure the blade is properly seated on the wiper arm.
  • Extreme temperatures can affect rubber flexibility; ensure blades are suitable for current weather.
