Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for wear or cracking. See Scheduled Maintenance 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 Maintenance Replacement Parts . 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.

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.
