Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for wear
and cracking. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4
for more information on wiper blade inspection.

Replacement blades come in different types and are
removed in different ways. To remove the type with a
release clip, do the following:

1. Lift the wiper arm until it locks into a vertical

position.

2. Press down on the blade assembly pivot locking

tab. Pull down on the blade assembly to release it
from the wiper arm hook.

3. The insert has two notches at one end that are

locked by bottom claws of the blade assembly.
At the notched end, pull the insert from the blade
assembly.

4. To install the new wiper insert, slide the notched

end last, into the end with two blade claws.
Then slide the insert all the way through the
blade claws at the opposite end.

5. Make sure that the notches are locked by the

bottom claws. Make sure that all other claws
are properly locked on both sides of the insert slot.

6. Put the blade assembly pivot in the wiper arm hook.

Pull it up until the pivot locking tab locks in the
hook slot.

7. Carefully lower the wiper arm and blade assembly

into the windshield.
