Installation Guide

1. Remove the Old Arm: Loosen the mounting bolt on the existing wiper arm and carefully detach it from the steering column. Keep the bolt for reuse if desired.
2. Prepare the New Arm: Align the V20/1965 arm with the mounting point, ensuring that the integrated cap sits flush against the rear of the vehicle’s glass panel.
3. Screw in Place: Tighten the mounting bolt securely. Verify that the arm is firmly seated and does not wobble.
4. Attach the Wiper Blade: Slide the blade onto the new arm, ensuring a snug fit. If your vehicle uses a specific blade type (e.g., rubber or silicone), confirm compatibility before installation.
5. Test Functionality: Activate the wipers to ensure smooth operation and proper coverage of the windshield area.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the cap for cracks or wear; replace if necessary to maintain protection against debris.
