2 Answers
To remove the wiper blades on a Volkswagen Sagitar, follow these steps: 1. Lift the metal wiper arm of the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar away from the windshield; 2. Stabilize the wiper in a position perpendicular to the windshield; 3. Locate the contact point between the rubber wiper blade and the metal arm, where a small plastic tab secures the blade in place; 4. Press the tab to release and remove the old wiper blade, separating it from the metal arm. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Sagitar as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, with a wheelbase of 2731mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 553 liters, and a curb weight of 1355kg.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Sagitar for several years, and replacing the wiper blades is quite simple. First, make sure the car is turned off and the power is disconnected, removing the key to prevent accidental startup. Then, gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield, but not too high to avoid damaging the spring. At the base, there's usually a small clip or screw—press the button or use a hex key to loosen it counterclockwise. Once loosened, carefully remove the old wiper blade. Take this opportunity to check if the blade is worn out and either replace it or clean the dust from the glass groove. When reinstalling, align it properly and secure it in place, then test to ensure normal operation. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes—doing it yourself saves hassle and money. The key is not to use excessive force and damage anything. Regular maintenance can also extend the wiper blades' lifespan.
