Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for
wear or cracking. See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 7-4 .
Replacement blades come in different types and are
removed in different ways. To replace the wiper
blade assembly:
1. Pull the windshield wiper arm connector away from
the windshield.
2. Squeeze the grooved areas on each side of the
blade, and turn the blade assembly away from
the arm connector. 3. Install the new blade onto the arm connector and
make sure the grooved areas are fully set in the
locked position.
For the proper type and size, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 7-15 .
