2 Answers
Honda XRV wiper blade removal method: First lift the driver-side wiper arm, then lift the passenger-side wiper arm; Press the locking tab and slide the blade out of the wiper arm; Pull out the tab end and slide the blade out of the bracket to remove it. Below are precautions for wiper blade removal: 1. Fully raise the wiper arm. To avoid damaging the windshield during removal/installation, it's recommended to place a cloth on the windshield when working with the wiper. 2. Adjust the angle of the wiper blade, preferably making it 90 degrees to the wiper arm. Since the entire wiper blade is clipped to the arm with fasteners, this angle facilitates removal. 3. After positioning at the correct angle, begin removal by first lifting the rubber blade with one hand to expose the fixing hook between the wiper arm and blade. Remove the entire wiper blade assembly - use one hand to pry open the rubber blade sideways while pressing down firmly on the main bracket with the other hand to separate the blade from the arm, then the entire wiper blade can be removed.
Last time I replaced the wiper blades on my Honda XR-V myself, I found the process quite straightforward. First, you need to park the car and turn off the engine, then locate the wiper position. Gently lift the wiper arm to make it perpendicular to the windshield surface, which exposes the base of the wiper blade. There's a small plastic clip or button there—press and hold it for a few seconds with your finger while using your other hand to gently pull the wiper blade outward. Throughout the entire operation, never release the wiper arm, as it might snap back and damage the windshield or yourself. I usually place a towel underneath as a cushion. This design is very user-friendly, allowing quick wiper blade replacements to address poor visibility during rainy seasons while saving money on mechanic visits. I always advise my friends to regularly check wiper blade wear and replace them every six months to extend their lifespan and enhance driving safety.
