🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the Driver-Side Wiper Arm

• Use your gloved hand to lift the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays raised.
• Place a shop towel on the glass below the arm for protection.
• Keep one hand on the arm.

Step 2: Release the Old Driver-Side Blade

• Look where the blade connects to the wiper arm. Your TITAN uses a hook-style wiper arm.
• Use your gloved thumb to press the small locking tab on the blade adapter.
• Slide the blade downward toward the base of the wiper arm to unlock it from the hook.
• A locking tab is the small plastic latch that keeps the blade from sliding off.

Step 3: Remove the Driver-Side Blade

• Rotate the blade slightly so it clears the hook.
• Slide the old blade completely off the wiper arm by hand.
• Do not release the bare metal wiper arm while the blade is removed.

Step 4: Install the New Driver-Side Blade

• Hold the new 24" front wiper blade with the rubber edge facing the windshield.
• Slide the blade adapter into the hook-style arm by hand.
• Pull the blade upward into the hook until the locking tab clicks.
• Gently tug the blade to confirm it is locked in place.

Step 5: Lower the Driver-Side Wiper Arm

• Use your gloved hand to slowly lower the driver-side wiper arm back onto the windshield.
• Remove the shop towel after the blade is resting on the glass.

Step 6: Lift the Passenger-Side Wiper Arm

• Use your gloved hand to lift the passenger-side wiper arm away from the windshield.
• Place a shop towel on the windshield under the arm.
• Keep control of the arm at all times.

Step 7: Remove the Old Passenger-Side Blade

• Use your gloved thumb to press the locking tab on the blade adapter.
• Slide the blade downward toward the base of the wiper arm to release it from the hook.
• Rotate the blade slightly and slide it off by hand.

Step 8: Install the New Passenger-Side Blade

• Hold the new 20" front wiper blade with the rubber edge facing the windshield.
• Slide the blade adapter into the hook-style arm by hand.
• Pull the blade upward until the locking tab clicks into place.
• Gently tug the blade to confirm it is secure.

Step 9: Lower the Passenger-Side Wiper Arm

• Use your gloved hand to slowly lower the passenger-side wiper arm onto the windshield.
