How to remove the rear wiper of xrv?
2 Answers
xrv rear wiper removal steps are as follows: 1. First lift the driver's side wiper arm, then lift the passenger side wiper arm. 2. Press the locking tab and slide the wiper blade out of the wiper arm. 3. Pull out the end of the tab and slide the wiper blade out of the bracket to remove it. Wiper maintenance: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, be sure to spray glass cleaner and avoid dry wiping. 2. If there are other stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass, clean them manually. These substances can easily damage the wiper blade, causing the wiper to not clean properly. In severe cases, the wiper motor may also be affected. 3. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or daily cleaning, hold the "backbone" of the wiper blade and gently return it. Do not snap the wiper blade back. 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice from the windshield first to avoid putting extra strain on the wiper.
I recently removed the rear wiper of my XR-V by myself, and the whole process was manageable. You'll need a suitable wrench, usually 13mm in size, or check the specific model to prepare a socket wrench. Before operating, put the car in ACC mode or manually lift the wiper arm to the maintenance position. There's a plastic cap at the base of the wiper arm; gently pry it open with a small flathead screwdriver, but don't use excessive force to avoid scratching the paint. Once opened, you'll see a nut—loosen it slowly counterclockwise with the wrench; no need to remove it completely, just loosen it enough to pull out the wiper arm. Ensure the wiper is stationary during removal to prevent hand injuries. If replacing the wiper blade, check that the new blade's direction matches the old one, and test the water spray cleaning effect after installation. It's also recommended to inspect the wiper rubber for wear every six months and replace it promptly to enhance driving safety. The entire removal and installation process takes about 10 minutes; beginners can watch YouTube videos to learn the steps.
