Changing Wiper Blades

If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first
with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has
deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.

Front Wiper Blades

1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the

passenger side.

2. Place a cloth on the edge of the lock tab. Push

the lock tab up with a flat-tip screwdriver.

3. Slide the blade holder from the wiper arm.

4. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by

pulling the tabbed end out.

5. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that

has been removed, and mount to a new rubber
blade. Correctly align the rubber protrusion and
the retainer grooves.

6. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from

the bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit
in the indent of the wiper blade.

7. Slide the holder onto the wiper arm, then push

down the lock tab.

8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then

the driver side.
