make sure that the wiper

ice (to avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the
wiper blades. Replace the wiper
blades as soon as they begin to
lose efficiency (approximately
once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take
care not to drop the arm onto the
window after it has been removed
as this may break the window.
