Windshield Wipers Replacement

NOTE: If you purchase your windshield wipers from your dealership, those wipers are made specifically for your car, making them easier to install. Most dealers will put your windshield wipers on for free if you buy them at the dealership.

If you can pull the rubber from your windshield wipers, it’s time for some new wipers. Make sure to check your user manual before you begin this process. Some cars have a special service setting specifically for changing your windshield wipers. As a precaution before you purchase new wiper blades, check if there are any contaminants – such as hot wax – that may be contributing to the problem.

WARNING: Leave the wiper arm stationary in its extended position. If you try to move to the arm as you work, you could cause damage which could lead to a costly repair.

1.    Take a hold of the wiper blade.

2.    Gently lift the wiper arm until it is in the extended position.

3.    Move the wiper blade into a horizontal position with the rubber side facing upward.

4.    Locate the clip on the wiper blade.

5.    Press the clip to release the old wiper blade.

6.    Slide the wiper blade clip down. It should separate from the wiper arm.

7.    Push the hook on the wiper arm through the center of the wiper blade.

8.    Pull the old wiper blade free from the arm.

9.    Check for special instructions on the new wiper blades before you attach them to the vehicle.

10. Take the new wiper blade out of the package and locate the clip in the center of the blade.

11. Rotate the clip so that the rounded side is upward or in the center of the wiper blade.

12. Line the clip up with the hook on the wiper arm.

13. Slide the hook over the clip.

14. Slide the clip into the hook until you feel the clip lock into place.

15. Return the wiper to its normal position and lower the arm back to the windshield.
