Windshield wiper blades should be inspected at least twice a year for wear or cracking. See Wiper Blade Check under At Least Twice a Year 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 Maintenance Replacement Parts .

To replace the wiper blade assembly do the following:

1. Lift the wiper up from the windshield and set into the vertically-locked position.



2. Press the tab that holds the wiper blade to the arm.
3. Slide the blade down and off the arm.
4. Slide in the new blade and snap into place.
