How to Lift Up the Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
Turn off the car engine, press the windshield washer switch, then the wiper blades will move to the middle position of the windshield, and you can lift them up. Here is some relevant information: 1. The function of wiper blades: to remove raindrops, debris, and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. 2. The method to replace car wiper blades: lift up the wiper blades; press the clip below to remove the wiper blade rubber; take off the wiper blade, then lift the front end of the middle clip; insert the wiper blade into the middle clip, pull it tight by hand, and the replacement is complete once you hear a clicking sound.
Last time I washed my car, I also wanted to lift the wiper blades, but it took me quite a while to figure it out! The first step is definitely to turn off the engine for safety. Then check if your car has a "maintenance mode" button located near the wiper control stalk—pressing it will stop the wipers in the right position. After that, gently lift the wiper arm by hand without pulling too hard, as it can damage the rubber blades or the windshield. If there's no button, try turning off the power and immediately activating the wipers to let them move to the middle before cutting the power again, then manually lift them. This is mainly to prevent them from freezing and sticking in winter or to make cleaning easier during car washes. Remember to check the manual before operating, as designs vary between cars—don’t mess around to avoid damaging your vehicle. This trick is super practical, and now I make it a habit to lift them monthly for maintenance.
