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.

1. Turn on the wipers to LO.

2. Turn off the ignition while the wipers are at the 

outer positions of the wiper pattern. The blades 
are more accessible for removal/replacement while
in this position.

3. Pull the windshield wiper arm 3 to 4 inches 

(7.5 to 10 cm) away from the windshield.

4. While holding the wiper arm away from the glass,

push the release clip from under the windshield
wiper arm connecting point and slide the blade
assembly down toward the glass to remove it 
from the wiper arm.

5. Slide the new wiper blade securely on the wiper arm

until you hear the release clip “click” into place.

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