How to Replace Windshield Wipers

keeping your windshield clean is one of
the most important things you can do to
ensure safe driving hi I’m Rebecca
Brayton and welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be showing you how to
replace your windshield wiper blades
although seemingly easy the simple task
of replacing your windshield wiper
blades can be very difficult and
frustrating especially the first time
the windshield wiper blade includes both
the rubber wiper as well as the branch
to which it is attached it is best to
replace this whole piece as opposed to
just the rubber wipers find what model
of wiper blade to purchase by looking in
the reference books where blades are
sold in the package containing your new
windshield wiper blades
you should find three or four different
styles of blade attachments that’s the
small plastic piece that attaches the
new blade to the wiper arm
this piece is found where the arm and
blade meet verify which type is
currently being used on your car and
find the new one that matches it for use
pull the wiper and arm away from the car
so that it is sticking out perpendicular
to the windshield
be careful not to let the wiper arm snap
back to the windshield while it has no
blade attached this could crack the
windshield now to remove the wiper from
the arm there are various different
styles of wiper blades for example where
the blade and arm meet there might be a
small tab you can depress with a
screwdriver to ease removal of the wiper
remove this attachment from the blade
and attach the new one mount the blade
onto the windshield wiper arm and put
the arm back into place test your work
by turning on the wipers the blade
should not slip and if that is the case
you may need to reattach them more
firmly now you should be ready to roll
in the rain
