Ford Kuga rear wiper replacement steps: 1. First lift the wiper arm to engage its self-locking mechanism. 2. Then use your right hand to pinch the two dovetail clips. 3. Rotate the wiper blade at a certain angle and pull it upward to remove. 4. Install the new wiper blade by aligning its front notch with the small head of the wiper arm, then pull the blade downward while pinching the two dovetail clips. 4. Rotate the blade clockwise at a certain angle to secure it in position. 5. After confirming proper installation, gently place the wiper arm back onto the windshield. 6. Use the same method to replace the driver-side wiper blade.
The rear wiper blade of my Ford Kuga finally broke after two years of use, and replacing it myself is actually not difficult. First, park the car on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Gently lift the rear wiper arm to prevent it from snapping back and damaging the glass. Look for a small clip button at the connection point of the wiper blade, usually made of plastic, press it down with your finger, and then pull the old wiper blade out to one side. Purchase a rear-window-specific model for the Ford Kuga on Taobao or at an auto parts store—don’t buy the wrong size by mistake. It costs around 30 yuan to get it done. When installing the new blade, pay attention to the arrow or label direction to align with the flow of rainwater, push it in until you hear a click to secure it. Afterward, spray some water to test if it wipes smoothly. If it’s too stiff, check if it’s not installed correctly. A reminder: it’s best to replace the wiper before the rainy season and check it every six months to avoid blurred vision during rain and potential dangers. Doing it yourself saved me 200 yuan in repair costs and also taught me a handy skill.
