Toyota Vios Facelift Car Wiper Blade Replacement Guide (2005-2007)

 

The Toyota Vios is a compact sedan manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation since 2002. The first generation Vios was available in various markets across Asia, including the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In 2005, Toyota introduced a facelift to the Vios, which featured several cosmetic and mechanical updates. This article provides a detailed guide on replacing the car wiper blades on a 2005-2007 Toyota Vios Facelift.

Materials Required

 New Toyota Vios wiper blades (front and rear)
 Clean cloth or paper towels
 Rubbing alcohol (optional)

Safety Precautions

Before starting any work on your vehicle, it is essential to take the following safety precautions:

 Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
 Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
 Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent any electrical accidents.

Replacing the Front Wiper Blades

Step 1: Lift the Wiper Arms

Pull the wiper control stalk towards you to lift the wiper arms from the windshield. Be careful not to lift the arms too high, as they may detach from the pivot points.

Step 2: Remove the Old Blades

Locate the plastic tab on the wiper blade connector, usually near the center. Push down on the tab while simultaneously pulling the old blade away from the wiper arm. The blade should come off easily.

Step 3: Install the New Blades

Align the new wiper blade with the connector on the wiper arm. Insert the blade into the connector and press down on the plastic tab until it clicks into place. Ensure that the blade is securely attached.

Step 4: Lower the Wiper Arms

Carefully lower the wiper arms back onto the windshield. Avoid slamming the arms down, as this could damage the windshield or the wiper blades.

Replacing the Rear Wiper Blade

Step 1: Locate the Wiper Arm

The rear wiper arm is located on the rear window. Lift the arm away from the glass to access the wiper blade.

Step 2: Remove the Old Blade

Similar to the front wiper blades, push down on the plastic tab on the connector and pull the old blade away from the wiper arm.

Step 3: Install the New Blade

Insert the new wiper blade into the connector on the wiper arm and press down on the plastic tab until it clicks into place.

Step 4: Lower the Wiper Arm

Lower the wiper arm back onto the rear window, ensuring that it fits snugly against the glass.

Tips

 Replace the wiper blades every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions.
 Clean the windshield and wiper blades regularly to remove dirt and debris, which can reduce their effectiveness.
 Use rubbing alcohol to clean the connector on the wiper arm before installing the new blades to ensure a secure connection.
 If you are experiencing excessive wiper chatter or smearing, check the alignment of the wiper blades on the windshield.
 For optimal performance, use wiper blades specifically designed for your Toyota Vios model.
