🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the wiper arms safely

• Put on work gloves and safety glasses.
• Lift the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays up on its own.
• Place a clean towel on the windshield under the arm. This protects the glass if it drops.

Step 2: Remove the old wiper blade

• At the center where the blade meets the arm, find the release tab (a small latch on the connector).
• Press the tab with your thumb (use work gloves for grip).
• While holding the tab, slide the blade down and away from the hook-style end of the arm, then pull it off.
• If it feels stuck, wiggle gently while keeping the tab pressed. Don’t force it.

Step 3: Install the new wiper blade

• Compare the new blade to the old one to confirm the same length and connector style.
• Slide the new blade onto the wiper arm connector until you hear/feel a solid “click.”
• Gently tug on the blade (with work gloves) to confirm it’s locked in place.

Step 4: Lower the arm back onto the glass

• Carefully lower the wiper arm onto the windshield—do not let it drop.
• Remove the clean towel from the windshield.

Step 5: Repeat on the passenger side

• Repeat Steps 1–4 for the passenger-side blade.
• Use a step stool if you need safer reach.

✅ After Repair

• Start the truck and test the wipers on LOW speed, then HIGH speed.
