Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be inspected at least
twice a year for wear or cracking. See “Wiper Blade
Check” in the Index for more information.

Replacement blades come in different types and are
removed in different ways.

To replace the wiper blade assembly, do the following:

1. Lift the windshield wiper arm away from 

the windshield.

2. Push the tab on the wiper blade assembly and pull

the assembly down enough to release it from the 
“U” hooked end of the wiper arm. Slide the
assembly away from the arm.

3. Remove the blade.

4. To reinstall the wiper blade assembly, slide it over

the wiper arm to engage the “U” hooked end on 
the wiper blade assembly. Pull up on the assembly 
to lock it into place.

For the proper windshield wiper blade replacement
length and type, see “Normal Maintenance Replacement
Parts” in the Index.
