1. Clean the windshield and wiper blades:
- Dirt, debris, and oils can cause squeaking. Clean the windshield and wiper blades thoroughly using a mild detergent and water.
2. Check for wear and tear:
- Worn-out or damaged wiper blades can cause squeaking. Inspect the wiper blades for cracks, tears, or other damage. Replace them if necessary.
3. Adjust the wiper arms:
- Incorrectly adjusted wiper arms can cause the blades to rub against the windshield at an improper angle, leading to squeaking. Adjust the wiper arms according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
4. Lubricate the wiper blades:
- Applying a silicone-based lubricant to the wiper blades can help reduce squeaking. Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of lubricant to the blades.
5. Check the wiper fluid:
- Low or dirty wiper fluid can also cause squeaking. Make sure the wiper fluid reservoir is filled and use a high-quality wiper fluid.
6. Replace the wiper blades:
- If the above steps don't work, it may be time to replace the wiper blades. Look for wiper blades that are specifically designed for your vehicle.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when maintaining and replacing windshield wipers.
