  4. Insert the new wiper blade onto the arm until it clicks into place.
  5. Turn the wiper blade so that the small notch is in the groove.
  6. Return the wiper arm to its original position and lower it until it contacts the windshield.

WARNING

  • After replacing the blades, return the wiper arms to their original position. Otherwise, you could damage them when opening the hood.
  • Make sure the wiper blades are in contact with the glass. If they are not, the wiper arms could be damaged by wind pressure.
