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.

Replacement blades come in different types and are removed in different ways.

Here's how to remove the wiper blade:

1. Pull the windshield wiper arm away from the windshield.



2. Push the release lever and slide the wiper assembly toward the driver side of the vehicle.
3. Install a new blade by reversing Steps 1 and 2.
