Windshield Wiper BladeReplacement
Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for wear or cracking.
Allowing the wiper blade arm to touch the windshield when no wiper blade is installed could damage the windshield. Any damage that occurs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not allow the wiper blade arm to touch the windshield.
1. To remove the old wiper blades, lift the wiper arm until it locks into a vertical position.
