Protege LX L4-1.6L DOHC (2000)
^
Dusty areas cause the rubber edge to wear quickly.
^
Sand and salt used for road conditioning during winter causes the edge to wear quickly, so areas with significant snowfall require more
frequent wiper replacement.
^
Heat and time cause the rubber to become excessively "permanent set" so the rubber does not turn over, resulting in streaking and/or unwiped
areas on the glass.
^
Rubber is easily cut or torn while using ice scrapers on the glass.
^
Rubber can be torn when pulling wiper blades off windshield.
^
Using wipers instead of an ice scraper to remove frost and ice from the windshield during vehicle warm up can dull, nick, or tear the rubber.
^
Banging wiper on the glass to remove ice and snow can cause the blade to bend and rubber to come out of the blade, providing the potential to
scratch the glass.
^
Ice forms in wiper blade pin joints, which causes streaking and unwiped areas. To remove ice from pin joints, compress the blade and rubber
with your hand to loosen the frozen joints. To prevent this condition, use winter blades with a rubber cover.
WARRANTY
Warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles from vehicle inservice date. Warranty does not cover replacement
due to:
^
Constant use of blades in severe weather causing rubber to wear and metal parts to scratch the windshield.
^
Abuse (i.e. poor windshield cleaning).
