Replacing Windshield Wiper Blades

When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.

CAUTION



To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.



Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiffener in the
blade may deform and the windshield
wiper operation may be adversely
affected.

NOTE

When raising both windshield wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm first.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side first while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windshield.

Replace the wiper blades using the
following procedure.
1. Raise the wiper arm.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the windshield
let the wiper arm down easily, do not
let it slap down on the windshield.

2. Slide the blade component in the

direction of the arrow while pressing

the wiper arm tab to remove the blade
component from the wiper arm.
 

3. Pull the blade rubber in the direction of

the arrow and slide it to a position
