Windshield wipers are an essential safety feature on any vehicle, as they help to keep your windshield clear of debris and precipitation.

Turn off the vehicle and allow the engine to cool.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical accidents.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Locate the Wiper Arm

Open the hood of your vehicle and locate the wiper arms. These are the long, metal arms that connect the wiper blades to the wiper motor.

2. Lift the Wiper Arm

Gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield. Do not lift it too far, as you may damage the wiper motor.

3. Locate the Wiper Blade

The wiper blade is the rubber part of the wiper that makes contact with the windshield. Grab the wiper blade near the center and pull it straight towards you to detach it from the wiper arm.

4. Install the New Wiper Blade

Take the new wiper blade and align it with the wiper arm. Insert the blade into the bracket on the wiper arm and push it down until it snaps into place.

5. Repeat for the Other Side

6. Lower the Wiper Arms

Once both wiper blades are replaced, gently lower the wiper arms back onto the windshield.

7. Reconnect the Battery

Reconnecting the negative battery terminal to the battery.

8. Test the Wipers

Start your vehicle and turn on the wipers. Check to make sure that the wipers are working properly and that there is no streaking or skipping.

Tips

Replace your wiper blades every 6-12 months, or more often if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions.

If you notice any streaking or skipping, even after replacing the wiper blades, there may be a problem with the wiper motor or linkage.

Do not use harsh cleaners or detergents to clean your wiper blades, as this can damage the rubber.

If you have any questions or concerns about replacing your wiper blades, consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic.
