To replace the wiper blades on your 2021 Acura ILX, lift the wiper arms away from the windshield, press the release tab on the wiper blade, slide the blade off the arm, and attach the new blade by sliding it onto the arm until it clicks into place.
The 2021 Acura ILX typically requires a 26-inch wiper blade for the driver's side and a 19-inch blade for the passenger's side. Always verify with your owner's manual for the correct size.
Wiper blades should be replaced every 6 to 12 months or as soon as you notice a decrease in visibility during use, streaking, or splitting of the rubber.
Squeaking noises from wipers can be caused by dirt or debris on the windshield, worn-out blades, or incorrect wiper angle. Clean the windshield and blades, and ensure the blades are installed correctly.
If the wipers do not return to the park position, it might be due to a faulty wiper motor, damaged relay, or incorrect installation. A professional inspection may be necessary to diagnose the issue.
To adjust the wiper blade angle, carefully bend the wiper arm slightly to ensure the blade makes full contact with the windshield. Be cautious to avoid damaging the arm or blade.
Universal wiper blades can be used on the 2021 Acura ILX, but ensure they are compatible with the wiper arm type and meet the size specifications. Always check compatibility before purchasing.
Streaking can be caused by residue on the windshield, improper installation, or a windshield that needs cleaning. Clean both the windshield and blades thoroughly to resolve the issue.
Check the wiper fuse, ensure the wiper switch is operational, and inspect the wiper motor for faults. Consult a professional if the problem persists.
Regularly clean the wiper blades and windshield with a damp cloth, check for any signs of wear or damage, and adjust the wiper arm tension if necessary to maintain optimal performance.
