1. Preparation

• Tools Required: None specifically needed, but a towel may be useful.
• Park the vehicle in a safe location and ensure it is turned off.

3. Install New Wiper Blades

• Take the new wiper blade and align it with the wiper arm.
• Slide the blade onto the arm, ensuring it fits securely into the hook.
