Let's get started!

    

1. Lift the wiper blade arm up.

 

2. Rotate the wiper blade 90-degrees until you hear a click. This is the blade unclipping from the holder.

 

3. Remove the plastic holder from the u-bend in the wiper arm.


4. Slide the new blade holder into the wiper arm.

 

5. Place the new wiper blade against the holder and apply gentle pressure until it clips back into place.
