Replacing Windshield Wiper Blades

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

and other components, don't try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.

NOTE

To prevent damage to the wiper arm blades
when raising both the driver and passenger
side wiper arms, raise the driver side wiper
arm first. Conversely, when setting down the
wiper arms, set the passenger side wiper arm
down first.

1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the blade

assembly to expose the plastic locking
clip.
Slide the assembly downward; then lift
it off the arm.
