Clear vision ahead

Replacing the windshield wipers on your car should be on the top of your list of seasonal maintenance. Its quick and easy and should be done before the rainy season is upon us. We take you through the step by step process in changing them out.

You will need:

New wiper blades
Soft cloth

Let's get started!

1. Lift the wiper arm.

2. Turn the blade perpendicular to the windscreen so that it doesn't fall down on the glass and break it

3. Depress the clip and slide the old blade out of the arm

4. Install the new blade in reverse order

5. Test the system to ensure it works correctly
