How to Remove Wiper Blades?

[LydiaLee]

1. Before removing the wiper blades, first take off the wiper arm. 2. Then check both ends of the wiper to see which end of the blade cannot slide back and forth, and remove the non-sliding part. 3. Locate the sliding part of the blade, remove the fixing clip at this end. The clip is usually easy to remove, but if it's too tight, you can use needle-nose pliers for assistance. 4. After removing the clip, you'll see that the blade is secured to the wiper with a metal clip. Use a tool to pry open the metal clip, and then you can remove the blade.

Last week I replaced my wiper blades by myself. First lift the wiper arm and place a thick towel on the windshield to prevent rebound damage. Locate the small clip at the end of the rubber blade, gently pry it open with a fingernail or flathead screwdriver, then the entire blade can be pulled out. Remember to pull slowly along the blade track without using excessive force to avoid bending the metal frame. OEM blades usually have directional arrows at the end - take a photo with your phone to note the installation orientation before removal. When installing the new blade, listen for a clear 'click' sound to ensure proper engagement.
