Changing the Wiper Blades
You can improve poor wiper quality by cleaning the wiper blades and the windshield.
Replace the wiper blades at least annually for optimum performance.
Front Wiper Blades
- Lift the wiper arm away from the glass.
Note:
Do not hold the wiper blade when lifting the wiper arm.
Note:
Make sure that the wiper arm does not spring back against the glass when the wiper blade is not attached.
- Release the wiper blade lock (A) and separate the wiper blade from the wiper arm.
- Remove the wiper blade.
- Install in the reverse order.
Note:
Make sure that the wiper blade locks into place. Lower the wiper arm and blade back on the windshield. The wiper arms will automatically return to their normal position when you turn the ignition on.
Rear Window Wiper Blade
- 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.
Note:
Do not hold the wiper blade when lifting the wiper arm.
Note:
Make sure that the wiper arm does not spring back against the glass when the wiper blade is not attached.
- Grab the primary structure of the blade with the other hand close to the arm/blade joint.
- The wiper arm has a snap retention feature to receive a cross pin from the wiper blade structure. Grip tightly and press on the arm/blade joint from beneath and separate the blade from the arm. Avoid rotating the wiper blade structure and trapping your left hand between the arm and blade.
- Attach the new wiper to the wiper arm and press it into place.
Note:
Make sure that the wiper blade locks into place.
