Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for
wear or cracking. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 393 for more information on wiper blade
inspection.
Replacement blades come in different types and
are removed in different ways. For the proper type
and length, see Normal Maintenance Replacement
Parts on page 405. Here’s how to remove the
wiper blade:
1. Pull the windshield wiper arm away from the
windshield.
2. While holding the wiper arm, lift the clip up
from the blade connecting point, and pull the
blade assembly down toward the windshield
to remove it from the wiper arm.
3. Install the new wiper blade on the wiper
arm and press down on the clip to snap it
into place.
Backglass Wiper Blade Replacement
1. Remove the protective cap from the wiper
arm. If the protective cap is not removed
before lifting the wiper arm, the wiper
arm could be damaged.
2. Pull the wiper arm away from the backglass
and into the service position.
3. Rotate the wiper blade, and pull down on it to
remove it from the wiper arm.
4. Install the new wiper blade, then set the wiper
arm back into its original position and replace
the protective cap.
