Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and ensure the rear window is clean and dry.
2. Remove Existing Arm (if applicable): Use a wrench to loosen the mounting bolts securing the old wiper arm. Carefully detach the arm and set it aside.
3. Attach the V46-1709 Arm: Align the new arm with the mounting points on the vehicle’s rear window frame. Secure it using the supplied bolts, tightening them evenly to avoid warping.
4. Install Wiper Blades: Slide the rubber blades onto the arm’s pivot point, ensuring they sit flush against the glass surface. Verify that the blade edges are correctly oriented for optimal wiping action.
5. Test Functionality: Activate the rear wiper system to confirm smooth operation. Adjust the arm angle if necessary to achieve even coverage across the entire window.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the rubber blades for signs of wear or cracking; replace them every 12–18 months depending on usage.
• Clean the wiper arm and blade assembly with a mild detergent solution to remove dirt and prevent buildup that can affect performance.
• Check bolt torque periodically, especially after heavy driving conditions, to ensure the arm remains securely fastened.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the aluminum surface, as they may damage the protective coating.
