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.

3. Remove the insert from the blade assembly.
The insert has two notches at one end that are locked by the bottom claws of the blade assembly. At the notched end, pull the insert from the blade assembly.
4. To install the new wiper insert, slide the
insert (D), notched end last, into the end with
two blade claws (A). Slide the insert all the way
through the blade claws at the opposite

bottom claws. Make sure that all other claws are
properly locked on both sides of the insert slots.
