How to Remove the Wiper Blades on a Sylphy?

First, remove the wiper rubber strip, unclip the fastener on top, then lift both wiper arms, paying attention to the sequence—larger one first, then the smaller one. Hold the front end of the wiper arm and push it downward horizontally to remove the wiper. Push it backward horizontally to fully detach the wiper. Below are the steps to replace the wiper blades on a Sylphy: 1. Fully raise the wiper arm. To avoid damaging the windshield during removal or installation, it is recommended to place a cloth on the windshield. Lift the wiper arm to adjust the blade angle; 2. Change the angle of the wiper blade, preferably to a 90-degree angle with the wiper arm. Since the wiper blade is secured to the arm with a clip, adjusting the angle facilitates removal and installation; 3. Once positioned at the correct angle, begin the removal process. Use one hand to lift the rubber blade to expose the fixing hook between the wiper arm and the blade. Remove the entire wiper blade assembly. With one hand, pry open the rubber blade sideways, while the other hand presses firmly downward on the main bracket to separate the wiper blade from the arm. The entire wiper blade can then be removed; 4. Lift the cover in the middle of the wiper strip, thread the wiper support through the middle, and clip it into the wiper's slot. Tighten it, and finally, replace the cover to complete the installation.
I've been driving a Sylphy for several years, and removing the wiper blades was a bit confusing at first, but I figured it out later. Usually, after turning off the engine, gently lift the wiper arm to prevent it from scratching the windshield. Locate the connection point between the wiper blade and the wiper arm—there's a small clip or button, like a tiny trigger. Press it lightly with your finger, then pull or push the wiper blade in the direction it's attached to release it. If it's stuck, a slight wiggle should help, but don't use too much force to avoid damaging the car's paint or the wiper arm itself. You might remove it to replace the wiper blade or clean off grease, especially in winter when it can freeze and get stuck—removing it beforehand can prevent frost damage. When reinstalling, align it properly until you hear a 'click' to lock it in place. Regularly check the wiper blades for wear to ensure safe visibility during rainy days.
