How to Install Frameless Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
Installation method for frameless wiper blades: 1. Lift the existing wiper arm to a 90-degree position and slowly rotate the wiper blade to a certain angle; 2. Press the connector button between the wiper blade and wiper arm to remove the original wiper; 3. The installation sequence of frameless wiper blades simply follows the reverse steps of removal. The difference between frameless wiper blades and traditional ones is the absence of a supporting frame, which not only ensures better contact between the wiper and the windshield but also provides more even force distribution and wear, resulting in superior wiping performance. However, it's important to note that there is an anti-rotation structure between the wiper arm and the blade. To avoid damaging this structure, rotate the wiper blade slowly and keep the rotation angle under 20 degrees.
Installing frameless wiper blades on your car is actually quite simple. I replaced mine by myself. The first step is to remove the old wiper blades: lift the wiper arm, locate the button or clip at the connection point, and press or pull gently to release the old blade. After removal, wipe the wiper arm with a cloth to remove dust, ensuring a secure fit for the new blade. The second step is installing the new frameless wiper: choose the correct size for your car model (usually specified on the packaging), align the blade with the wiper arm's slot, and press gently until you hear a click, indicating it's locked in place. Avoid forcing it, as this can cause damage. Test the wipers by turning them on to check for smooth operation—any unusual noise or wobbling may indicate improper installation. I recommend checking your wipers every six months to ensure safe driving in rainy conditions, saving you trips to the repair shop and unnecessary costs. Remember to handle everything gently—the whole process takes just a few minutes, so don’t stress.
