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.

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.

(Type A)

1. Raise the wiper arm.
2. Open the clip and slide the blade

assembly in the direction of the arrow.

3. Tilt the blade assembly and remove it

from the arm.

CAUTION

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

4. Pull down the blade rubber and slide it

out of blade holder.

5. Remove the metal stiffeners from each

blade rubber and install them in the
new blade.
