Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release

it from the hook.

Install the new blade (installation is the reverse

of removal) and make sure that it is properly

attached to the wiper arm.
NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should

change the windshield wiper blades as soon as

they start to leave marks on the windshield or

fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of

wiper blades, clean them with a stiff-bristle

brush and warm, soapy water as part of a

normal car wash.

Cleaning the outside of the
windshield and wiper blades

If the windshield is not clear after using the

wiper(s) or if the blade chatters when running,

wax or other material may be on the blade or

on the surface of the glass.
Clean the glass with a suitable cleaning agent.

The glass is clean if beads do not form when

you rinse it with water.
Clean the wiper blade by wiping vigorously

with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield

washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with

water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular

basis and replaced when worn.
