2003 VOLVO XC90
NOTE: The driver's side wiper blade is straight. The passenger's side wiper blade is curved to match the
curve at the base of the windshield.
Replacing windshield wiper blades
1. Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold the blade at a 45° to the arm. Press the end of the
plastic clip located on the arm.
2. Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the hook. The entire hooked part of the wiper
arm must pass through the opening in the wiper blade.
3. Pull the old blade free of the wiper arm. Install the new blade (installation is the reverse of removal)
and make sure that it is properly attached to the wiper arm (clicks into place).
NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should change the windshield wiper blades as soon as they start to
leave marks on the windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly. To obtain maximum lifetime from
a set of wiper blades, clean them with a stiff-bristle brush and warm, soapy water as part of a normal car
wash.
