• Poor windshield contact from weakened frame tension
• Reduced visibility in rain, sleet, or road spray
• Fitment issues on hook-style arms that need adapter selection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a hook-style wiper arm before installation.

For vehicles with different driver and passenger lengths, check both sides before replacing only one blade. The 9XW398114016 is a front-position blade and should be installed according to the vehicle’s wiper arm orientation.
