the wiper rubber runs through the c claw, let it stick out from the
stopper and then slide it through the other a claw
Applying a small amount of washer fluid to the wiper rubber makes the insertion easier.

the wiper rubber
⦁When the wiper blade claw is not
placed in the groove of the wiper
rubber, pinch the wiper rubber and
slide it several times to put it into the
