Changing rear window wiper blade

The rear wiper arm is designed without a service position. This reduces
the risk of damage to the blade in an automatic car wash.

To replace the wiper blade:

1. Grab the wiper arm with one

hand close to the arm/blade
joint and pull it as far away
from the glass as possible. Do
not use excessive force because
it can break the wiper arm at
the heel. Hold it there until the
next step.

2. Grab the primary structure of

the blade with the other hand
close to the arm/blade joint.

3. Grip tightly and push on the arm/blade joint from beneath and

separate the blade from the arm.

4. Attach the new wiper to the

wiper arm and press it into
place until a click is heard.

If you find this procedure too
difficult, please see your dealer.

oil pan.

P (Park).
