Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools and parts needed.
Park the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the ignition.
Ensure the windshield is clean to avoid scratches.

2. Lift the Wiper Arms

Gently lift the wiper arms away from the windshield until they are in a vertical position.
Ensure they are held securely to avoid snapping back.

3. Remove the Old Wiper Blades

Locate the release tab on the wiper blade near the wiper arm connection.
Press the release tab and slide the old wiper blade downwards to detach it from the arm.
Repeat this step for both wiper blades.

4. Install New Wiper Blades

Take the new wiper blade and align the hook of the wiper arm with the slot on the new blade.
Slide the blade onto the arm until you hear a click indicating it is locked in place.
Repeat for the second wiper.

5. Lower the Wiper Arms

Carefully lower the wiper arms back onto the windshield.
Ensure both blades are resting flat against the glass.
