CAUTION

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

2. Hold the end of the rubber and pull

until the tabs are free of the metal
support.

3. Remove the metal stiffeners from each

blade rubber and install them in the
new blade.

CAUTION



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



If the metal stiffeners are switched,
the blade's wiping efficiency could be
reduced.
So do not use the driver's side metal
stiffeners on the passenger's side, or
vice versa.



Be sure to reinstall the metal
stiffeners in the new blade rubber so
that the curve is the same as it was in
the old blade rubber.

4. Carefully insert the new blade rubber.

Then install the blade assembly in the
reverse order of removal.

NOTE

Install the blade so that the tabs are
toward the bottom of the wiper arm.
