Removal Procedure
Notice: Use care when removing or installing a blade assembly. Inadvertent bumping
can cause the wiper arm to come back and to damage the windshield.
- Lift the arm into the vertical, service position.
- Press down
on the locking tab of the blade assembly pivot.
- Pull downward on the blade assembly, disengaging the assembly
from the hook of the wiper arm.
- The element
has 2 notches at one end. The blade assembly latches into the notches.
At the notched end of the element, pull the element from the blade assembly.
Installation Procedure
Important: A replacement element has 3 plastic caps. The caps retain 2 metal flexor
strips to the element. Do not remove the caps before installing the element.
Important: Insert the notched end of the element into the blade assembly last.
- Starting at the end of the blade assembly shown, slide the element into
the blade assembly's claws.
Fully inserting the element forces the plastic caps off of the element.
- Ensure that the blade assembly's claws latch
into the notches.
- Ensure that all other blade assembly claws properly engage the
slots on both sides of the element.
- Insert the pivot of the blade assembly into the wiper arm hook.
- Pull the assembly upward until the locking tab of the pivot engages
the slot in the hook.
- Carefully lower the wiper arm assembly onto the windshield.
