How to Replace a Frameless Wiper Blade?
2 Answers
The method for replacing a frameless wiper blade is as follows: 1. Press down on the wiper base with your left hand and lift the wiper cover upwards with your right hand. 2. Then lift the wiper blade perpendicular to the windshield. 3. Push the wiper blade downward with force to remove the old wiper blade. 4. Place the new wiper blade in the corresponding position and push it upwards to install it onto the connector. Below are some precautions for using wiper blades: 1. Try to park the vehicle in a shaded area during summer to prevent the rubber strip of the wiper blade from aging due to excessive sun exposure. 2. After the windshield is frozen in winter, avoid using the wiper blade to remove the ice layer, as it can easily cause severe damage.
Replacing frameless wiper blades by yourself is quite easy. First, turn off the engine to ensure the wiper arms are stationary, then gently lift them to prevent them from snapping back and hitting the windshield. Choose a flat surface for safer operation. There's a small clip at the connection point—press it to release the old wiper blade and remove it directly. Before buying new wipers, measure the length of the old ones to ensure they match your car model, and avoid overly cheap brands to prevent poor wiping performance. When installing the new wiper, align it properly, push gently until you hear a 'click' to lock it in place—don’t force it, as this could cause damage. After installation, start the engine and test the wipers to check for smooth operation and effective wiping. I replace mine every six months to prevent poor visibility in rainy weather. DIYing this saves me 40-50 yuan in labor costs and teaches basic maintenance. Remember to inspect the wiper rubber for cracks or wear—timely replacement can extend the lifespan of your windshield. The whole process takes just ten minutes and is stress-free even for beginners.
