Instructions
Measure or Look Up Your Size
Drivers and passenger blades are often different lengths. Check the sticker on the current blade, your owner's manual, or use the blade finder at an auto parts store.
Lift the Wiper Arm
Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield. It stays up on its own. Place a folded towel on the glass in case the arm springs back.
Release the Old Blade
Most blades use a hook-style attachment. Press the release tab and slide the blade down and off the hook. Note the attachment style.
Attach the New Blade
Hook the new blade onto the arm and slide up until it clicks firmly. Gently lower the arm back to the windshield. Repeat for the other blade.
Test the Wipers
Run the wipers with washer fluid to test the new blades. They should wipe clean without streaking. Replace every 6-12 months.
