How to Remove Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
The method for removing wiper blades is as follows: Lift the wiper upright, press the square button on the wiper, and detach the wiper from the metal arm. Pinch one side of the wiper blade with your fingers and pull it back and forth forcefully. Once you identify the movable side, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the plastic end cap on that side, then pull out the wiper blade. The function of the wiper is to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, thereby improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Wiper maintenance includes: 1. Use windshield washer fluid to clean the front windshield; 2. Regularly clean or replace the wiper blades; 3. Replace linkage components.
Replacing wiper blades isn't that complicated—I just tried it myself. First, turn off and stabilize the car, gently lift the wiper arm to secure it (don't let it snap back and damage the windshield). Then locate the fastener at one end of the blade, usually a clip or small button—I pressed that little thing and the blade loosened. Slowly pull out the old blade, checking for residue or rust (clean with a small brush if needed) before installing the new one. The whole process takes about five minutes—just handle it gently to avoid damaging the connectors. It's faster and cheaper than going to a repair shop. After removal, check if the wiper arm is bent for safety.
