Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for wear
or cracking. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4
for more information.

Replacement blades come in different types and are
removed in different ways. To replace the wiper
blade assembly, do the following:

1. Pull the windshield wiper arm away from the

windshield.

2. Press the button in the middle of the wiper arm

connector, and pull the wiper blade away from
the arm connector.

3. Install the new wiper blade, and make sure the

wiper blade locks into place.

For the proper size and type see Maintenance
Replacement Parts
on page 6-14.

Backglass Wiper Blade

1. Pull the wiper blade assembly away from the

backglass. The backglass wiper blade will not
lock in a vertical position, so care should be used
when pulling it away from the vehicle.

2. Rotate the wiper blade assembly, hold the wiper

arm in position and push the blade away from the
wiper arm.

3. Replace the wiper blade.

4. Return the wiper arm and blade assembly to the

rest position on the glass.
