Things You'll Need:
- Pliers or vice-grip New windshield wipers
-
Step 1
Record your Land Rover model and year. Go to your local auto store and buy replacement wipers to install on the windshield wiper arm. Time and weather can cause the rubber blade to become frayed and detached and this can cause the blade to malfunction and possibly the steel windshield wiper structured bow to scrape your windshield.
-
Step 2
Grab the windshield wiper arm and pivot it into the "up" position. At the articulation point use your pliers to squeeze the small tab in and pop off the old windshield wiper.
-
Step 3
Open the new windshield wipers and use your pliers to attach the new windshield wipers to the tab at the articulation point on the windshield wiper arm.
-
Step 4
Pivot the windshield wipers back to there standard down position after they are attached.
-
Step 1
Determine if the tension spring in the arm is become worn out and will no longer move the windshield wiper back and forth. If this is the problem, purchase a new windshield wiper arm from your local auto store (have your Land Rover model and year ready for them) and install it by removing the old wiper arm that is held on by a single retaining nut under the base of the windshield.
-
Step 2
Examine where the windshield wiper arm attaches to your vehicle via a retaining nut can become loose and will not allow the windshield wiper to move back and forth. Fix this by putting the wiper in the standard down position and then use your pliers or vise-grip to tighten the loose nut.
-
Step 3
Pivot the windshield wipers back to there standard down position after they are fixed.
