Wiper Blade Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear or cracking.
See Scheduled Maintenance
on
page 10‑3
.
It is 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 Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 10‑9.
To replace the wiper blade
assembly:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN 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 side blade
will be straight up and down on
the windshield.
3. Pull the windshield wiper
assembly away from the
windshield.
4. Lift up the wiper blade
assembly cap.
5. 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.
