2. Hold the end of the rubber and pull

•

Don’t bend the stiffeners. You need 
to use them again.

•

If the metal stiffeners are switched, 
the blade’s wiping efficiency could 
be reduced.
So don’t 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.

NOTE

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

CAUTION
