How To Change Windshield Wipers

Start by lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield. This position prevents the wipers from snapping back, and keeping them up gives you easy access to the blades.

Look for the small tab on the wiper blade that connects it to the wiper arm. The tab holds the blade securely in place. Understanding where this tab is located is essential because pressing it will allow you to remove the old wiper easily.

Take the new windshield wipers out of the packaging. Before installation, check that they match the size of the old one. Having the right size ensures proper fit and function. If they’re too long or too short, they won't clean the windshield effectively.

Carefully lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield, ensuring it touches the glass evenly. This step ensures the blade makes full contact with the glass, providing optimal performance when the wipers are used.

After installing the new wipers, start your vehicle and activate the wipers. Use the washer fluid to see if they move smoothly across the glass. If they work correctly, you’ve successfully changed your windshield wipers. Testing them is vital to ensure they clean the windshield effectively without streaks.
