Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for
wear or cracking. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 471 for more information.
It’s a good idea to clean or replace the wiper
blade assembly on a regular basis or when worn.
For proper windshield wiper blade length and
type, see Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts
on page 482.
To replace the wiper blade assembly, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON with the engine off.
2. Turn on the windshield wipers and turn them
off again when the wipers are in the out-wipe
position. The driver’s side blade will be
straight up and down on the windshield.
3. Pull the windshield wiper assembly away from
the windshield.
4. Lift the wiper blade assembly up so it is in a
T-shaped position. You should be able to see
a tab.
5. Squeeze the tab together and pull the wiper
blade assembly down far enough to release it
from the J-hooked end of the wiper arm. Slide
the assembly away from the arm.
Allowing the wiper blade arm to touch the
windshield when no wiper blade is installed
could damage the windshield. Any damage that
occurs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not allow the wiper blade arm to touch the
windshield.
