Chapter 1 – Fundamentals and Setup:
The series opens by grounding the listener in the basics—how wiper systems work, what causes wear, and how to prepare safely before touching any part of the car. It covers blade types, sizes, and inspection techniques, setting the stage for confident hands-on work.
Chapter 2 – Replacement and Testing:
The second chapter walks step-by-step through the full replacement process. It details how to remove old blades, attach new ones without scratching the glass, and test for even movement and silent performance. The focus stays on small precision—grip, alignment, and tension—so every listener can complete the job smoothly and safely.
Chapter 3 – Troubleshooting and Maintenance Plan:
The final chapter turns from installation to mastery. It explains how to diagnose streaking, squeaking, and chatter; how to maintain blade performance across seasons; and how to prevent long-term damage from sun, ice, or dirt. It ends with a strong reflection: clear vision is not luck—it’s the result of care, consistency, and learning to see maintenance as a skill, not a chore.
