CAUTION
l Don't bend or discard the stiffener.
You need to use them again.
l If the metal stiffeners are switched,
the blade's wiping efficiency could
be reduced.
So don't use the driver's side metal
stiffener on the passenger's side, or
vice versa.
l Be sure to reinstall the metal
stiffener in the new blade rubber so
that the curve is the same as it was in
the old blade rubber.
4. Carefully insert the new blade rubber.
Then install the blade assembly in the
reverse order of removal.
qReplacing Rear Wiper Blade (5
Door)

blade is probably worn or cracked.
Replace it.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arm
and other components, don't try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
1. Raise the wiper arm and rotate the
wiper blade to the right until it unlocks,
then remove the blade.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the rear window
let the wiper arm down easily, don't let
it slap down on the rear window.
2. Pull down the blade rubber and slide it
out of the blade holder.
