Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Open the hood to access the wiper arm mounting area.
2. Remove Old Arm: Locate the small retaining clip or screw that secures the existing wiper arm. Use a flat‑head screwdriver or a suitable tool to release it, then gently lift the old arm away from the windshield.
3. Attach New Arm: Position the VAICO V20/7390 onto the mounting bracket. Align the pivot point with the original attachment hole and secure it using the provided screw or clip. Tighten firmly but avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage to the rubber seal.
4. Check Alignment: With the arm in place, manually move it through its full range of motion. Ensure that the rubber pad maintains consistent contact with the glass and that there is no wobble or misalignment.
5. Test Functionality: Turn on the vehicle’s wiper system to verify smooth operation. Observe the wiping pattern for streaks or missed spots; adjust if necessary.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the rubber pads every 6 months for signs of wear, cracks, or hardening. Replace if any damage is observed.
• Clean the windshield and wiper blades with a mild soap solution to remove dirt that can cause streaking.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the arm’s metal surface; a soft cloth will suffice.

Material Specifications

The V20/7390 combines lightweight aluminum alloy for structural integrity with high‑performance rubber for optimal grip. The aluminum is anodized to resist corrosion, while the rubber incorporates additives that maintain flexibility across a temperature range of –40°C to +80°C.

Performance Benefits
