FORD 2013 Explorer v.1 - Manual (Page 340)

CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away from
the glass.
2. Squeeze the locking tabs to release the
blade from the arm and pull the blade away
from the arm to remove it.
3. Attach the new blade to the arm and snap
it into place.
Replace wiper blades at least once per year
for optimum performance.
Poor wiper quality can be improved by cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.
To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.
Changing the rear window wiper blade
To replace the rear wiper blade:
1. Press the wiper blade against the
glass with one hand and hold it.
2. Pull the wiper arm away from the
wiper blade to separate.
3. To attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm, align the slot (1) and
cross pin (2) and firmly press the
wiper arm into the wiper blade until
a click is heard.
If you find this procedure too difficult, please see your dealer.
