Blade Replacement

When the wipers no longer clean properly, the blades may be worn or cracked and require replacement.

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the wiper arms or other components, do not attempt to move the wipers by hand.

CAUTION

Using a wiper blade other than the specified type may result in wiper malfunction and failure.

CAUTION

Do not allow the wiper arm to drop onto the windshield, as this may chip or crack the windshield.

2. Turn the wiper blade clip. Then lift the blade clip.

3. Press the clip (1) and lift the wiper arm (2).

4. Press the wiper arm (3) and install the new blade assembly in the reverse order of removal.
