 Replacing Rear Window Wiper 

Blade (5-Door)

            When  the  wiper  no  longer  cleans  well,  the 
blade is probably worn or cracked.
  Replace  it.

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

   1.   Remove the cover and raise the wiper 

arm.

   2.   Firmly rotate the wiper blade to the 

right until it unlocks, then remove the 
blade.

CAUTION

  To prevent damage to the rear window, 
do not let the wiper arm fall on it.

   3.   Pull down the blade rubber and slide it 

out of the blade holder.

   4.   Remove the metal stiffeners from the 

blade rubber and install them in the 
new blade.

  Do not bend or discard the stiff eners. 
You need to use them again.
