I changed my wiper blades myself recently, and it felt super easy. First, lift the wiper arm to avoid scratching the windshield. Locate the release tab—usually a U-hook or straight insert connector—press it to remove the old blade. When installing the new one, align and slide it in until you hear a click, indicating it's locked. Gently tug to test for security. Choosing the right wiper is key: measure your old blades to buy the correct size—I found frameless ones quieter and more durable last year. For winter changes, pick a warmer day to avoid frozen fingers. Check rubber wear every six months, and test with washer fluid post-installation for streak-free wiping. The whole job takes under ten minutes, saving repair costs and boosting DIY skills.
