🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the wiper arm safely

• Put on nitrile gloves and safety glasses.
• Lift the driver-side wiper arm up and away from the windshield until it stays up.
• Keep the microfiber towel on the glass under the arm. It’s cheap insurance.

Step 2: Remove the old wiper blade

• Find the connection where the blade meets the arm (usually a “J-hook” shape).
• Press the small release tab on the blade adapter (use your thumb—no tools needed).
• Slide the blade down toward the base of the arm, then rotate and unhook it from the arm.
• Set the old blade aside.

Step 3: Install the new wiper blade

• Confirm you have the correct blade for that side (driver and passenger are often different lengths).
• If your new blade includes multiple adapters, select the one labeled for “hook/J-hook.”
• Hook the new blade onto the arm, then slide it upward until you hear/feel a click.
• Gently tug the blade to confirm it’s locked in place.

Step 4: Lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield

• Carefully lower the arm down onto the windshield.
• Remove the microfiber towel.

Step 5: Repeat for the passenger side

• Repeat Steps 1–4 for the passenger-side blade.
• Keep the towel under the arm each time so the arm can’t strike the glass.

✅ After Repair

• Turn the ignition ON and test the front wipers on low speed, then high speed.
• Use washer fluid and confirm both blades wipe cleanly without streaking or chattering.
• If a blade chatters, clean the windshield and the rubber edge with a damp microfiber towel. Road film causes noise.
