If your windscreen washer has a bottle (as shown LEFT), flip the tab open. Fill the bottle to the neck using windscreen washer fluid or water. During winter months water is likely to freeze so make sure 50% windscreen washer fluid is added......

Windscreen Wipers
The design of the windscreen wiper arms was improved on the later cars. So if you need to replace your wiper arms then go for the improved later version.
964-628-028-03 LH Wiper Arm
964-628-028-01 RH Wiper Arm
928-628-623-01 End Cap (you will need 2 of these)
The newer wiper arms have two springs instead of one and the whole construction is much more sturdy. The arms are thicker so your old wiper blades will not fit unless you kept the other adapters that came with the blades
