Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on level ground and engage the parking brake. Open the rear hatch to access the wiper arm mounting area.
2. Remove Existing Arm: Locate the retaining clip or screw that secures the current wiper arm. Use a flathead screwdriver or appropriate tool to disengage it, then gently lift the arm away from the vehicle frame.
3. Align New Arm: Position the VAICO V20 – 2614 so that its mounting interface aligns with the vehicle’s attachment point. Ensure the protective cap is oriented correctly.
4. Secure Attachment: Reinstall the retaining clip or screw, tightening it to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 5–7 Nm). Verify that the arm sits flush against the frame without wobble.
5. Blade Installation: Attach a compatible rear wiper blade to the new arm. Most blades use a standard mounting pin; insert the pin and secure with the provided clip or screw.
6. Testing: Activate the vehicle’s rear wiper system to confirm smooth operation. Observe for any vibrations, misalignment, or noise.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check the arm and blade for cracks, wear, or loose fittings every 6 months.
• Cleaning: Wipe the arm with a soft cloth to remove dirt that could affect blade contact. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the protective cap.
• Blade Replacement: Replace the rear wiper blade annually or sooner if streaking occurs, ensuring optimal cleaning performance.
