Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for
wear or cracking. SeeOwner Checks and Services
on page 469.
It is a good idea to clean or replace the wiper
blade assembly on a regular basis or when worn.
For proper windshield wiper blade length and
type, seeNormal Maintenance Replacement Parts
on page 475.
To replace the wiper blade assembly, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON with the engine off.
2. Turn on the windshield wipers and turn them
off again when the wipers are in the out-wipe
position. The driver’s side blade will be
straight up and down on the windshield.3. Pull the windshield wiper assembly away from
the windshield.
4. Lift the wiper blade assembly up so it is in
a T-shaped position. You should be able to
see a tab.
