Windscreen wiper blades — replacement (Vesta 2180)

Particular attention should be paid to the windshield wipers, because the cleanliness of the windshield depends on their condition. Their failure, especially in cloudy weather and in conditions of poor visibility, can lead to loss of control over the road and, as a result, to an accident.

The cars are equipped with two brushes. The brushes have different lengths and, accordingly, different catalog numbers:

left wiper arm brush - 600 mm;
right wiper arm brush - 445 mm.

If cleaning requires more brush strokes and more washer fluid, or the glass is not cleaned evenly, the wiper blades must be washed with water, their working edges must be wiped with a damp cloth, or they must be replaced. As a preventative measure, we recommend replacing the brushes at least once a year.

Note: The design of the fastening may differ depending on the manufacturer and model of the brushes. To ensure that the brushes can be placed on the windshield wiper arms of different cars, they are supplied with adapters.

Sequence of execution

1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

2. Raise the windshield wiper arm.

Warning! When the windshield wiper arms are raised, do not raise the hood - it may collide with the arms! This will damage both the arms and the paintwork of the hood!

3. Press the lock...
