Method to replace the wiper blade of the windshield wiper: 1. Lift the wiper and press the square button to remove the wiper from the metal arm; 2. Cover or wrap the wiper arm with a soft cloth to avoid damaging the glass surface, then gently return it to the windshield; 3. Pick up the wiper and pinch one side of the wiper blade; 4. Locate the side that cannot be pulled, and pry open the plastic plug on this side of the wiper; 5. Pry up the metal hook and pull out the wiper blade for replacement. The windshield wiper is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs visibility.
I just replaced my wiper blades, and it wasn't that hard! First, gently lift the wiper arm to prevent it from snapping back and cracking the windshield. Look for the small tab or button on the arm—press it to remove the old blade. When buying new blades, match them to your car model; just enter your license plate on online platforms for the right fit. To install the new blade, align the groove with the metal arm until you hear a click. Key tip: After installation, don't rush to use washer fluid—test them dry first to check for unusual noises. My first time, I forgot to peel off the protective film, leaving streaks everywhere and wasting half an hour. Wiper blades should be replaced every six months—worn rubber won't clean properly and can damage the glass, making rainy drives dangerously unclear.
