⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• Keep the wiper arms from snapping back onto the glass; the spring tension can crack the windshield.
• Turn the ignition off before starting so the wipers do not move unexpectedly.
• If the wiper arm lifts away from the glass, hold it firmly while changing the blade.
• Use a towel on the windshield if you want extra protection while learning the blade clip style.

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the wiper arm

• Use your hand to gently lift the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays upright.
• Do not let the arm snap back.

Step 2: Remove the old blade

• Locate the small release tab where the blade connects to the arm.
• Press the tab with your fingers and slide the blade downward to release it from the hook-style arm.
• If it feels stuck, wiggle the blade slightly while keeping the arm steady.

Step 3: Install the new driver blade

• Use the 26-inch front wiper blade and slide it onto the arm hook until it clicks into place.
• Pull lightly on the blade to confirm it is locked in.

Step 4: Lower the driver arm

• Carefully lower the driver-side arm back onto the glass.
• Lower it slowly.

Step 5: Replace the passenger blade

• Repeat the same process on the passenger side.
• Use the 22-inch front wiper blade and make sure it clicks securely into place.
• Lower the passenger arm gently onto the windshield.
