• Slide the old blade down and off the hook-style arm.
• Keep a firm grip on the arm.

Step 3: Install the new blade

• Use the new 22-inch wiper blade and line up the connector with the hook on the arm.
• Slide the blade onto the hook until it clicks into place.
• Gently tug on the blade to make sure it is locked in.

Step 4: Repeat on the other side

• Use the same process with the passenger-side arm.
• Install the second 22-inch wiper blade the same way.

Step 5: Lower both arms carefully

• Set each wiper arm back down slowly onto the windshield.
