Wiper Blades and Washer Jets
Checking and Replacing Wiper
Blades
Periodically check and clean the edge of the
wiper blade and check the rubber for cracks,
splits and roughness. If damaged, replace the
blade immediately to prevent damage to the
glass.
Contaminants on the windshield, or on the
wiper blades, can reduce the effectiveness of
the wiper blades. Contaminants include ice,
wax spray from car washes, washer fluid with
bug and/or water repellent, bird droppings,
tree sap, and other organic substances.
Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
Clean the windshield using non-abrasive
glass cleaner.
Wipe the blades clean using isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol or washer fluid.
If the wipers remain ineffective after cleaning,
replace the wiper blades.
For optimum performance, wiper blades
should be replaced at least once a year.
To replace wiper blades:
1. Lift the wiper arm away from the
windshield.
2. Press the locking tab while sliding the blade
down the arm.
3. To install the new blade, align the new blade
on the wiper arm and slide it toward the
hooked end of the arm until it locks into
place.
4. Place the wiper arms with the blades
against the windshield.
If the problem persists with new blades, clean
the windshield and wiper blades using a soft
cloth or sponge and warm water with
non-detergent soap. Then, rinse the windshield
and wiper blades with clean water. The
windshield is clean when water beads do not
form.
CAUTION: Only use cleaning products
approved for use on automotive glass
and rubber. Inappropriate products can
cause damage or smears, and create
glare on the windshield.
CAUTION: Only install replacement
blades that are identical to the original
blades. Using inappropriate blades can
damage the wiper system and affect the
operation of the rain sensor.
Cleaning Washer Jets
The position of the windshield washers is set at
the factory and should never need adjusting.
If a windshield washer becomes blocked, use a
thin strand of wire to clear any blockages from
the nozzle.
WARNING: Do not operate the washers
while cleaning Model S. Windshield
washer fluid can irritate eyes and skin.
Read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturer’s instructions.
