The windshield washer is placed on the wiper blade. When you try to get water on the windshield it blows off before the wiper blade can actually touch it to clean the windshield. Without water, the debris on the windshield will only smear.
The windshield wipers will not properly clean the windshield. - When driving in heavy rain the wipers do not clear the rain completely there seems to be a film of water left behind, the wipers will not clean the windshield of debris completely, I drove through a heavy swarm of bugs and the wipers would not clean windshield completely.
On March 09, 2024 as I was backing into a parking space, the rear vehicle wheels came into contact with the parking curb at which point the rear window shattered. The pieces of the window flew in many directions approximately up to 5 to 10 feet outside and into the rear cargo area of the vehicle where I had my dogs.
