I often replace my wiper blades with frameless ones, finding it simple and practical. The first step is to buy new wiper blades of the correct size, referring to the vehicle manual or the length of the old blades for selection. I usually measure the dimensions before ordering online or visiting an auto parts store. After parking and turning off the engine, carefully lift the wiper arm to stand it upright and away from the windshield to prevent it from snapping back and causing scratches. Then, press the release button on the old wiper blade to unlock and remove it, cleaning any rust or dirt from the arm. Align the new wiper blade with the connector and gently push until it locks in place, giving it a few shakes to ensure it's secure. Finally, activate the washer to test if the wiper moves smoothly without skipping. Replacing them every six months helps prevent rubber degradation and ensures clear visibility, making rainy-day driving much safer. Additionally, cleaning the windshield surface of grease prevents premature wear on the new wiper blades. The whole process takes just 10 minutes.
