How to Replace the Rear Wiper of GS4?

[DeGabriel]

Here is the method to replace the wiper of Trumpchi GS4: 1. First, fully lift the wiper. To avoid damaging the windshield during the disassembly process, it is recommended to place a cloth on the windshield and adjust the angle of the wiper blade. 2. Then, change the angle of the wiper blade, preferably making it 90 degrees to the wiper arm. Since the wiper blade and the arm are fastened with a clip, it is easier to remove at a certain angle. 3. After setting the angle correctly, you can start the disassembly. First, use one hand to lift the rubber blade to expose the fixing hook between the wiper arm and the blade. 4. After the entire wiper blade is taken out, use one hand to horizontally open the rubber blade, while the other hand presses down firmly on the bracket to separate the wiper blade from the arm. Then, the entire wiper blade can be removed. 5. The final step is to install the new wiper.

I've replaced the rear wiper on my GS4 several times myself, and it's actually quite simple. First, get out of the car and locate the wiper arm on the rear window. Lift the wiper arm outward until it's perpendicular to the glass. At this point, you'll see a plastic clip at the base of the wiper blade. Press down on the protruding clip button with your finger, apply a bit of force to push the entire wiper blade downward, and you'll hear a click when it's released. Installing the new one is even easier—just buy the specific model of wiper blade, align it with the U-shaped connector on the wiper arm, and push it upward until it locks into place. The whole process takes less than five minutes, but remember to lift the wiper arm gently to avoid the metal rod suddenly snapping back and hitting the glass. By the way, when the rear wiper rubber wears out, it may skip or leave water streaks, so it's best to replace it before the rainy season in southern regions.

Last week, I just helped my neighbor replace the rear wiper blade on their Trumpchi GS4. Here’s a step-by-step guide for your reference. First, start the car and then turn it off, followed by pressing the ignition button once to cut the power (this allows the wiper arm to be moved). Gently lift the wiper arm to make it stand upright. Pay attention to the black square clip at the joint—press the central bump with your thumb while using your other hand to hold the wiper blade and slide it toward the rear of the car. This will remove the old rubber blade. Align the new wiper blade with the slot and push it back into place in reverse order; a 'click' sound indicates it’s securely fastened. A reminder: when buying a wiper blade, make sure it’s the 24-inch short straight-insert type, not the hook-type blade used for the front windshield. Doing it yourself can save you around 70-80 yuan in labor costs, and all you need are your hands—no tools required.

Three steps to replace the rear wiper of Trumpchi GS4: After parking, lift the wiper arm, press the release button of the square buckle at the root of the rubber strip, and push the old wiper blade outward parallel to the windshield to remove it. Align the slot of the new wiper blade with the wiper arm interface, and push it in the opposite direction to lock it in place. Note: When purchasing online, choose a 20-24 inch special model labeled 'For GS4 rear window'. After installation, spray some windshield washer fluid to test whether the wiping angle fits the curvature of the glass.

As a five-year GS4 owner, I recommend replacing the rear wiper once a year. The key lies in the interface operation: After turning off the engine, place a towel under the raised wiper arm to prevent accidental rebound. The plastic buckle has anti-drop bumps; when removing, simultaneously pinch both sides of the buckle and press inward (don’t just press the middle), and the rubber strip will automatically pop out. During installation, ensure the new wiper’s slot bites into the interface, then pull outward to test for firmness. For DIY replacement, I recommend purchasing a silicone-coated model—it costs about ten yuan more but operates more quietly and slows down scale buildup, providing much clearer visibility on rainy days.

When replacing, remember to purchase a 24-inch GS4-specific rear wiper blade. The key operation lies in the release mechanism—there's a small spring tab on the side of that black square. Use your fingernail to push the tab while simultaneously pressing the old wiper downward to remove it. When aligning the new wiper, note the anti-reverse installation design (logo faces outward). After insertion, gently lift it upward until you hear a 'click' to confirm proper seating. During DIY replacement, check if the wiper arm spring tension is normal. If the metal arm shows rust, it's best to spray some rust remover. The new rubber blade may feel slightly stiff initially but will naturally soften and conform better to the glass after a few days of use.
