Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Small Screwdriver
- New Pair Of Wiper Blades
Step1
Purchase the correct replacement windshield-wiper blades for your car at an auto parts store. Buy the entire blade, not just the rubber blade insert.
Step2
Open the package and find the attachment that matches the one on the wiper blade on your car. Read through the directions to see how to connect the attachment to the blade.
Step3
Pull the wiper arm up so it is no longer resting on the windshield.
Step4
Remove the old wiper blade from the wiper arm (see picture). This typically involves pushing on a tab and pulling the wiper blade off or lifting a tab with a small screwdriver.
Step5
Insert the attachment onto the new blade or onto the wiper arm (see picture). On some cars, it may be easier to put the attachment on the wiper blade first; on other models, it is easier to first put the attachment onto the wiper arm. Listen for a click.
Step6
Tug on the wiper blade to make sure it is securely attached and won't fly off later.
Step7
Gently lower the wiper arm onto the windshield.

on 12/27/2007 It says turn on wiper blades if having trouble accessing them. It's really hard changing the blades while they are moving. Please correct.
