🔨 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.
• Support the arm the whole time.

Step 2: Remove the old blade

• Find the small release tab where the blade connects to the hook-shaped arm.
• Press the release tab and slide the blade downward to unhook it from the arm.
• Remove the blade from the arm.

Step 3: Install the new blade

• Take the new 22-inch blade and line up the hook with the connector.
• Use your hand to slide the blade onto the arm until it clicks into place.
• Lightly tug the blade to make sure it is locked on.

Step 4: Reinstall the arm carefully

• Lower the wiper arm gently back onto the windshield.
• Repeat the same steps for the passenger-side blade.

Step 5: Test the new blades

• Turn the ignition on and run the washer/wiper system briefly.
• Check that both blades sweep smoothly and do not chatter or lift.
