Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be inspected at least
twice a year for wear or cracking. See “Wiper Blade
Check” in the Index for more information.
To replace the wiper blade assembly, do the following:
1. Lift the wiper arm up from the windshield and set it
in the vertically locked position.
2. Push the tab on the wiper blade assembly and
pull the assembly down enough to release it from
the “U” hooked end of the wiper arm. Slide the
assembly away from the arm.
3. Remove the blade.
4. To reinstall the wiper blade assembly, slide it over
the wiper arm to engage the “U” hooked end on the
wiper blade assembly. Pull up on the assembly to
lock it into place.
For the proper windshield wiper blade assembly
replacement length and type, see “Normal Maintenance
Replacement Parts” in the Index.
