All right i allready have swallowed my pride to post this question, feeling like less of a man, cant even change my own wipers!! I live in mn and its currently -10F outside, and i need to replace my wipers. There is a clip that you push up on the wiper, got that, but dont know if i have to push on the blade to lodge it loose or what. With the temp so low i dont want to break the plastic clip, thats the reason i ask. Any help is appreciated!!!
Hi No need for panic. :) First go outside, start the car, and turn on the cars heat/window defroster. Let it warm up about 15 minutes. Then open the glove box and turn to page 230 of your owners manual. It says (and gives a diagram of): CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES 1. Pull the wiper arm away from the vehicle. Turn the blade at an angle from the wiper arm. Push the lock pin manually to release the blade and pull the wiper blade down toward the windshield to remove it from the arm. 2. Attach the new wiper to the wiper arm and press it into place until a click is heard. I hope this helps.
Press in on the clip, slide the old wiper towards the base of the wiper arm. Installation is reverse of removal. Best of luck! For piece of mind, the little plastic clip is attached to the old wiper, if you break it you are probably throwing those away anyway right?
