⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• Turn the ignition off and keep the wipers in the parked position before starting.
• Lift one wiper arm at a time so it does not snap back onto the glass. The arm is spring-loaded and can crack the windshield.
• Protect the windshield with a towel if the arm is lifted away from the glass for any length of time.
• No battery disconnect is required.

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the first wiper arm

• Lift the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays up on its own.
• Tip: Hold the arm firmly the whole time.

Step 2: Remove the old blade

• Press the release tab on the wiper blade connector by hand.
• Slide the blade down and off the arm hook or adapter.
• If it feels stuck, wiggle it gently rather than forcing it.

Step 3: Install the new blade

• Align the new blade with the wiper arm connector.
• Slide it on until it locks into place with a click.
• Pull lightly on the blade to confirm it is secure.

Step 4: Lower the first arm carefully

• Set the arm back down onto the windshield slowly.
• Do not let it drop.

Step 5: Repeat on the passenger side

• Lift the passenger-side arm.
• Remove the old blade using the release tab.
• Install the new blade and confirm it locks securely.
• Lower the arm carefully onto the glass.
