🔧 Supra - Front Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement

You’ll put the wiper arms into a “service position” (a parked position that lets the arms lift safely), remove the old blades, and snap the new ones on. This prevents the wiper arms from hitting the hood edge and helps you avoid cracking the windshield.

Difficulty Level: Beginner | Estimated Time: 0.25-0.5 hours

📋 Before You Begin

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Put the wipers into service position

• Use the car’s controls to move the wipers to service position using ONE of the methods below.
• Method A (stalk sequence): With ignition on, then ignition off, immediately use the wiper stalk to command service position (some cars require holding the stalk briefly). Use your owner’s manual wording for “wiper service position.”
• Method B (infotainment): If your Supra has a wiper service option, use CAR > Settings > Wipers and select Service position.
• Tip: Don’t force the arms up if blocked.

Step 2: Lift one wiper arm safely

• Use your hands (wear nitrile gloves) to lift the wiper arm slightly off the glass.
• Keep the clean microfiber towel under the work area so the arm can’t hit bare glass.

Step 3: Remove the old wiper blade

• Use your hands to find the small release tab/clip where the blade connects to the arm.
• Press the tab and slide the blade off the arm (direction depends on the connector style).
• If the tab is tight, use a plastic trim tool (optional) to press it (don’t use metal on the arm/blade).

Step 4: Install the new wiper blade

• Use your hands to confirm the new blade’s connector matches the arm.
• Slide the new blade onto the arm until you hear/feel a firm “click.”
• Gently tug the blade with your hands to confirm it’s locked in place.

Step 5: Repeat for the other side

• Use the same steps and keep the clean microfiber towel under the arm area.

Step 6: Return wipers to normal position

• Use the infotainment option CAR > Settings > Wipers > Service position to exit (if used).
• Or use the wiper stalk to cycle the wipers once so they park normally.
• Remove the clean microfiber towel from the windshield.
