How to Replace the Wiper Blade Rubber on Lavida?

Introduction to replacing the wiper blade rubber on Lavida: 1. Turn the Lavida key to the power-on position, quickly move the wiper lever once to make the wiper stay in an upright position for easy replacement of the rubber. 2. Find a small square button on the wiper arm. 3. Press the wiper button, remove the protective cover, and then pull out the wiper blade. 4. Slide the wiper blade out along the steel track. 5. Replace it with a new rubber. Traditional wipers need to be replaced once a year, while the lifespan of beam wipers is two to three times that of traditional wipers, requiring replacement only every two or three years. Since the wiper rubber fits tightly to the glass, beam wipers rarely encounter the issue of sand particles getting stuck between the blades, which is common with traditional wipers. This not only protects the windshield but also provides good protection for the wipers themselves. When replacing the wiper, the rubber should also be replaced together.

I've replaced the wiper blades on my Lavida several times and found it quite straightforward. Here's a step-by-step breakdown. First, park the car on a stable and safe surface, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake to prevent accidental wiper activation that could cause injury. Second, gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield to avoid scratching the surface, then locate the blade's connection point—usually a sliding latch or push-button—press firmly to release the old blade. Third, carefully remove the old blade while cleaning out any dust or debris inside the track to keep it clean. Align the new blade with the track and slowly push it in until you hear a "click" indicating it's securely in place. Finally, give it a gentle tug to ensure it won't slip, then spray some water to test if the wiper operates smoothly and quietly. It's recommended to inspect the blades for wear every six months, and choosing the correct model can save you hassle later on.

Last week, I had some free time and replaced the wiper blades on my Lavida. It felt surprisingly easy, just like playing with a small Lego set. First, I parked the car securely to ensure stability. As soon as I lifted the wiper arm, I could reach the blade easily. I noticed the small clip was positioned in the center—just a press and it popped open. The old blade came off effortlessly without much force. The new rubber blades I bought online were affordable and of good quality. I aligned them carefully with the track and slid them in slowly. After installation, I tested them by spraying water and wiping a few times back and forth—immediately, they became much quieter and smoother. I remember the first time I did it, I installed them the wrong way around. Now I’ve learned to align them with the markings properly. Every time I replace them, the windshield becomes crystal clear, which gives me a real sense of accomplishment.

I remind everyone to pay special attention to safety when replacing the Lavida wiper blades. After parking and turning off the engine, lift the wiper arm gently to avoid rebound scratching the windshield. The small clips during operation can easily pinch fingers, so wearing gloves provides better protection. After aligning and installing the new rubber blade, test the washer spray to ensure there are no abnormal noises or streaks, ensuring clear visibility during rainy driving.
