How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a BYD F0?

Lift the wiper arm upwards and place a towel on the windshield corresponding to the middle position of the wiper blade. Rotate the wiper blade and the wiper arm to form a 45-degree angle (most can be rotated up to 90 degrees), then locate the small hidden clip at the joint between the wiper blade and the wiper arm. Press and hold the small hidden clip, then pull the entire wiper blade downward towards the base of the wiper arm. Once the hook is exposed during the downward movement of the wiper blade, remove the wiper blade from one side to complete the disassembly.
I've been driving my BYD F0 for several years, and changing the wiper blades is a piece of cake—I can do it myself at home, saving the cost of a repair shop. Here's how: First, park the car and turn off the engine, then remove the key to prevent accidental activation. Carefully lift the wiper arms to stand them upright, ensuring they don't touch the windshield, and place an old towel beneath the windshield in case they drop to avoid scratching the glass. Next, locate the connection point between the wiper blade and the arm; most BYD F0 models use a U-hook—just press the small clip in the middle gently to remove the old blade, being careful not to damage the arm. Align the new blade and push it into place until it locks. Don't forget to test the wiper switch to ensure smooth operation. I often recommend wiping the windshield with a soft cloth to remove debris, preventing premature wear on the new blades. Replace them every six months or 10,000 km to maintain clear visibility in the rain—safety first!
Replacing wiper blades isn't difficult, the key is thorough preparation. I prefer doing it in a garage or shaded area: park the car securely, turn off the engine, engage the handbrake, and lift the wiper arm to the service position to prevent spring-back injuries; then press the release tab at the wiper blade connector - BYD F0 typically uses standard hook-type attachments, just pull outward to remove the old blade; align the new blade with the slot until you hear a click indicating secure installation. The whole process takes just minutes, finally start the car to test wiper functionality. I also recommend checking windshield cleanliness simultaneously to avoid dirt affecting performance, saving future trips to the repair shop!
