Windscreen wiper blades (Audi A8 D2)

Keeping your windscreen wipers in perfect condition is essential to ensuring good visibility.

To avoid deformation of the brushes, it is necessary to clean them regularly with a glass cleaner. If the brushes are heavily soiled, for example with insect residue, they should be cleaned with a sponge or a clean cloth.

It is recommended to replace the windshield wipers once or twice a year.

In frosty weather, before turning on the windshield wipers for the first time during a trip, you should check that the brushes have not frozen to the glass.

When washing your car automatically, wax particles may end up on your windshield. To remove them, add a wax-dissolving glass cleaner to the windshield washer reservoir.

Filling the reservoir with a glass cleaner with wax-dissolving properties can significantly improve the performance of the wipers. Grease-dissolving cleaners do not clean the glass completely.

Damaged brushes, which may cause poor glass cleaning, should be replaced.
