2023 Ford E-350 Cleaning the Windows and Wiper Blades

CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES

Car wash chemicals and environmental fallout can result in windshield and wiper blade contamination. Dirty windshield and wipers will result in poor windshield wiper operation. Keep the windshield and wiper blades clean to maintain windshield wiper performance.

To clean your car‘s windows and wiper blades, start by mixing a solution of warm water and vinegar. Then, using a clean cloth, wipe down the outside of each window. Be sure to clean the area around the wiper blades as well. Next, use a squeegee to remove any remaining water from the windows. Finally, clean the wiper blades themselves by wiping them down with a cloth soaked in the vinegar solution..

• Clean the windshield with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. When cleaning the interior of the windshield, avoid getting any glass cleaner on the instrument panel or door panels. Wipe any glass cleaner off these surfaces immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean the entire windshield using steel wool (no greater than 0000 grade) in a circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl rubbing alcohol or windshield washer concentrate.

Note: Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean or remove decals from the inside of the heated rear window. The vehicle warranty does not cover damage caused to the heated rear window grid lines.
