

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.

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

assembly downward; then lift it off the
arm.
