Remember wipers before rains come
Nostalgia fans will remember Peggy Lee’s hit recording, "Manana.” The song told the story of the owner of a broken window that let the rain in the shack. x The singer complained that the weather was too foul to go outside to make needed repairs. She promised to fix it when the sun shone again. When the weather did turn fair again. Miss Lee chirped, “We don’t need a window on such a sunny day.” The philosophy expressed in that song probably accounts for the fact that, according to manufacturers, seven out of every 10 cars on the road need windshield wiper replacement. To some extent due to the “disappear-
ing" wipers, the component is becoming an “out of sight, out of mind" item. Thus during the foul weather seasons when rain, sleet and snow create driving hazards, worn wipers and inoperative washer systems pose a definite threat to the car owner. Elements like ozone and

It’s anti-freeze time once again and unless your car is less than two years old you should be thinking about draining, flushing and adding fresh anti-freeze. It’s a relatively easy procedure for even the most inexperienced car owner, says AUTOMOTIVE COOLING SYSTEM INSTITUTE. But it is a vitally important procedure to the health and welfare of your car and your pocketbook. Waiting too long to check the cooling system can be very expensive. Not only is there the danger of having inadequate protection when the superfreeze comes along, accord-

heat tend to work with friction to wear wiper blades. And in areas where temperatures drop below 32°F., an antifreeze solution must be added to the washer system. Under most conditions, it is advised that new wiper blades be installed every six months before streaking or chattering occur and hamper safe visibility.
ing to ACSI engineers, there also is the concern about leakage from connections in the cooling system which have been overlooked. The accompanying illustration points to the components to be checked as part of a fall cooling system check.
