How to Remove the Wiper Blades on the New Excelle?
2 Answers
The steps to remove the wiper blades on the New Excelle are: 1. Lift and remove the wiper arm; 2. Stand the wiper upright, adjust the blade angle to form a 90-degree angle with the wiper arm; 3. Lift the wiper blade to expose the locking hook, then detach the entire blade. Taking the 2021 Excelle as an example, it is a compact car under SAIC-GM Buick with body dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
Last time I replaced the wiper blades on my new Buick Excelle by myself, and found the removal process quite simple. With the car turned off, first gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield to prevent it from snapping back and scratching the glass or injuring your hand. The wiper blade on the new Excelle has a small clip at the connection point—just press it down while pulling the blade outward to remove it. The whole process takes about a minute or two and requires no tools. After removal, remember to clean any dust or rust from the wiper arm joint to ensure a snug fit for the new blade. By the way, if your wipers leave blurry streaks or make unusual noises, it’s a sign of aging. I recommend checking them every six months and opting for properly sized replacements—avoid cheap off-brand options that could compromise visibility and safety. In short, DIY maintenance saves money and teaches you a handy skill—give it a try.
