🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the first wiper arm

• Lift the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays up.
• Place a clean towel on the windshield under the arm.

Step 2: Remove the old wiper blade

• Press the small release tab on the blade connector.
• Slide the blade downward to unhook it from the wiper arm.
• Keep a firm grip so the arm does not hit the glass.

Step 3: Install the new wiper blade

• Slide the new blade onto the hook on the wiper arm.
• Pull it upward until the connector clicks into place.
• Lightly tug on the blade to make sure it is locked.

Step 4: Lower the first wiper arm

• Remove the towel only after the arm is fully seated.

Step 5: Repeat on the passenger side

• Lift the passenger-side arm and repeat the same removal and installation steps.
• Make sure both blades are seated the same way.

Step 6: Test the new blades

• Turn the ignition on and run the wipers with washer fluid.
