Assumption: Most Town & Country setups use Driver 26" and Passenger 20" front blades with a J-hook style arm.

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift and secure the wiper arm

• Put on mechanic gloves and safety glasses.
• Gently lift one wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays up on its own.
• Keep the microfiber towel on the glass underneath. This protects the windshield if it drops.

Step 2: Release the old blade from the J-hook

• Rotate the wiper blade so it sits about 90° to the wiper arm (makes the clip easier to access).
• Find the small locking tab where the blade connects to the hook.
• Press the locking tab with your thumb; if it’s stubborn, gently press it with a small flat-blade screwdriver (do not pry hard).
• Slide the blade down and off the hook to remove it.

Step 3: Install the new blade

• Compare the new blade length to the old one before installing.
• Slide the new blade’s connector onto the hook until it clicks/locks.
• Gently tug on the blade to confirm it’s fully latched. A loose blade can fly off.

Step 4: Lower the wiper arm carefully

• Hold the arm with your hand and slowly lower it back onto the windshield.
• Remove the microfiber towel and repeat Steps 1–4 for the other side.

Step 5: Function check

• Start the vehicle and spray washer fluid.
• Run the wipers for 5–10 seconds and confirm there’s no skipping, streaking, or chatter.

✅ After Repair
