1. Preparation

1. Gather necessary tools and materials: new wiper blades, cloth, glass cleaner, and a socket wrench or screwdriver (if needed).

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

3. Clean the windshield with glass cleaner and a cloth to remove any dirt or debris.

2. Removing the Old Wiper Blades

1. Locate the release lever or button on the wiper arm.

2. Depress the release mechanism and lift the wiper blade straight up and away from the arm.

3. If the wiper blade is secured by a bolt or screw, use the socket wrench or screwdriver to loosen and remove it.

3. Installing the New Wiper Blades

1. Position the new wiper blade on the wiper arm and align the hook or clip with the corresponding slot.

2. Press down on the wiper blade until it snaps into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.

3. If the wiper blade is secured by a bolt or screw, insert the bolt or screw through the hole in the blade and tighten it securely.

4. Adjusting the Wiper Blades

1. Position the wiper blades against the windshield and adjust them to ensure they make even contact along the entire length of the blade.

2. If necessary, adjust the wiper arms by loosening the bolts or screws that secure them to the vehicle. Reposition the arms and tighten the bolts or screws.

5. Testing the Wiper Blades

1. Turn on the wipers and observe their operation.

2. Check for any skipping, streaking, or chattering. Adjust the wiper blades or arms as needed to optimize their performance.

6. Additional Tips

Replace wiper blades every 6-12 months or as recommended by the manufacturer.

Use high-quality wiper blades designed for your specific vehicle make and model.

Keep the windshield clean to prevent premature wear on the wiper blades.

If the wiper blades make a chattering or screeching noise, clean the windshield thoroughly and lubricate the wiper blades with silicone spray.
