Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for wear and cracking. See "Wiper Blade Check" in At Least Twice a Year for more information.

To replace your windshield wiper blade inserts, do the following:

1. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
2. Pinch the two tabs on the wiper arm and slide the insert out of the blade.
3. Slide the new one in place.

Make sure the tabs are locked into position. See Maintenance Replacement Parts for the proper type of replacement blade.
