To replace the wiper blade:

1. Grab the wiper arm just below
the blade attachment 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 wiper blade with your
other hand and use your fingers to
push the wiper arm tip through the
wiper blade center to separate the
blade from the arm.

3. 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.
