To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.

Changing rear window wiper blade

The rear wiper arm is designed without a service position. This reduces
the risk of damage to the blade in an automatic car wash.

To replace the wiper blade:

1. Grab the wiper arm with one
hand close to the arm/blade joint
and pull it as far away from the
glass as possible. Do not use
excessive force because it can break
the wiper arm at the heel. Hold it
there until the next step.

2. Grab the primary structure of the
blade with the other hand close to
the arm/blade joint.

3. Grip tightly and press on the arm/blade joint from beneath and
separate the blade from the arm.

4. Attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm and press it into place
until a click is heard.

If you find this procedure too
difficult, please see your dealer.
