Taking apart a frameless wiper is actually quite simple. I do this often myself and find it as enjoyable as changing a phone case. First, park the car on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake—safety first. Walk to the wiper, gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield, and avoid pulling hard to prevent damage to the glass or wiper arm. Locate the clip button where the wiper blade connects to the wiper arm—usually a small raised plastic tab or metal clip. Press it with your finger while gently pushing or pulling the wiper blade in the opposite direction to easily detach it. Some car models have different designs and may require twisting the clip, so it's best to check your car's manual or online model-specific videos. The whole process doesn’t require any tools—just your hands—but don’t force it. If it’s stuck, there might be debris blocking it, so clean it first before trying again. I usually check my wipers for wear every month. When replacing them, just reverse the steps to install the new one—the whole process takes just two to three minutes. Maintaining your wipers well can save you a lot of money and ensure safer driving in the rain, as clear visibility is key.
