Replacing wiper
blades


Lift the wiper arm off
the windshield and hold
blade at right angles to
arm. Pinch the end of
the plastic clip located
at the back of the arm.

Slide the wiper blade
along the arm to release
it from the hook.

Install new blade
(installation is the
reverse of removal) and
make sure that it is
properly attached to the
wiper arm.

For reasons of safety,
you should change the
windshield wiper blades
as soon as they start to
leave marks on the
windshield or fail to
wipe efficiently and
cleanly.

To obtain maximum
lifetime from a set of
wiper blades, clean
them with a stiff-bristle
brush and warm, soapy
water as part of a
normal car wash.


Replacing headlight
wiper blades (certain
models)


Pull the wiper blade in the
direction indicated by the arrow
in the illustration to remove it.
Press the new blade into place.
Check that the new blade is
properly attached to the wiper
arm.
