How to Remove a Frameless Wiper Blade?
2 Answers
Frameless wiper blade removal methods are as follows: 1. For frameless wipers, it's generally recommended to replace the rubber blade (the part that contacts the windshield). Simply pull it out from either side - the operation is straightforward. 2. If you want to remove the entire wiper assembly, first open the small cover on the surface. This cover is secured by clips on both sides. After opening, grasp the wiper and pull it downward. 3. If you're unsure about performing this operation yourself, to avoid unnecessary damage, it's advisable to take your vehicle to a repair shop for professional removal.
I often fix my car myself, and removing frameless wiper blades is quite simple. First, turn off the car to ensure safety, then gently lift the wiper arm—it will stay fixed away from the windshield (don’t let go to avoid it snapping back and damaging the glass). Most frameless wipers have a visible button or clip at the base; press it with your thumb or index finger until you hear a click, indicating the lock is released, and then pull the wiper off smoothly. If it’s stuck, don’t yank—wiggle it slightly to help release it, being careful not to break any plastic parts. After removal, I usually check if the rubber blade is cracked or hardened—replacing it once a year is ideal. Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and extend its lifespan, and it’s safer to do this before rainy days. These small tips save repair costs and improve driving safety.
