🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the wiper arm

• Raise the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield.
• Repeat for the passenger-side arm.
• Lift one arm at a time.

Step 2: Remove the old blade

• Use your hand to find the small release tab where the blade connects to the arm.
• Press the tab and slide the blade downward to unhook it from the arm.
• Remove the blade carefully so the metal arm does not strike the windshield.

Step 3: Install the new driver blade

• Use the driver-side new blade and align the connector with the wiper arm hook.
• Slide the blade into place until it clicks and locks.
• Gently tug the blade to make sure it is secure.

Step 4: Install the new passenger blade

• Use the passenger-side new blade and align it with the wiper arm hook.
• Slide it in until it clicks.
• Check that it is fully locked before lowering the arm.

Step 5: Lower the arms and test

• Carefully lower both wiper arms back onto the windshield.
• Turn the ignition on and test the wipers with washer fluid.
• Make sure both blades sweep smoothly and do not streak.
