📋 Before You Begin

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the wiper arms safely

• Lift the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays up.
• Keep the microfiber towel on the glass under the arm.

Step 2: Remove the old wiper blade

• Rotate the wiper blade so it’s roughly perpendicular to the wiper arm.
• Press the release tab on the blade connector; if it’s tight, gently help it with a small flathead screwdriver.
• Slide the blade down and off the wiper arm hook/connector.
• Hold the arm—don’t let it spring back.

Step 3: Install the new wiper blade

• Confirm the new blade is the correct length (both sides are 22" on your F-150).
• Attach the correct included adapter to the new blade if it’s not already installed.
• Slide the new blade onto the wiper arm connector until it clicks/locks.
• Gently tug on the blade to confirm it’s fully latched.

Step 4: Repeat for the passenger side

• Repeat Steps 1–3 on the passenger-side wiper arm using the microfiber towel for protection.

Step 5: Lower arms and verify operation

• Carefully lower both wiper arms back onto the windshield.
• Remove the microfiber towel.
