from the claw at the center of
the wiper blade. Pass the
wiper insert through the 3
claws so that it sticks out
from the stopper, and then
pass the wiper insert through
the final remaining claw.
Applying a small amount of washer
fluid to the wiper insert can make it
easier to insert the claws into the
grooves.
6Check that the wiper blade
claws are fitted in the
grooves of the wiper insert.
If the wiper blade claws are not fit-
ted in the grooves of the wiper
insert, grasp the wiper insert and
slide it back and fo rth multiple times
to insert the claws into the grooves.
Lightly lift up the center of the wiper
insert to make the rubber easier to slide.
