Pull the windshield wiper blade assembly away from the windshield. Press the fixing clips on both sides of the windshield wiper blade as shown in the illustration. Pull the wiper blade in the direction of the arrow to detach it from the wiper arm.

I just helped my neighbor replace the wipers on his Emgrand a few days ago, and it was actually quite simple. First, lift the wiper arm and place a thick towel on the windshield to prevent damage. Then, press the square clip at the connection point and push downward firmly to remove the old wiper blade. When installing the new wiper, pay attention to the orientation—the side with the raised mark should face outward. Here's the key point: the Emgrand uses a proprietary connector, so don't mistakenly buy universal wipers! I've compared OEM and third-party options, and the rubber blades priced around thirty yuan are good enough for about six months. After installation, spray some water and wipe a few times to check for any unusual noises or streaks. Also, remember to clean the rubber blades every month, as tree sap and oil film can cause the wipers to wear out prematurely.

Just replaced the wipers on my three-year-old Emgrand. Before purchasing, measured 24 inches for the driver side and 16 inches for the passenger side. Just look for "Emgrand-specific" labeled ones on Taobao. A tip for replacement: with the engine off, flick the wiper stalk to the maintenance position, and the wiper blades will automatically lift up. Press hard on the small tab at the connector until you hear a click, then release the old wiper. When installing the new one, make sure the clips are aligned—pushing it in should give a noticeable rebound feel. During the test wipe, noticed water streaks on the passenger side, which was fixed by adjusting the rubber blade angle. Actually, rubber parts hate direct sunlight, so it's best to use a sunshade when parking in summer.

Girls can definitely change their own wiper blades! Last week, my Emgrand's wipers were skipping badly, so I followed a video tutorial. The key is using the right technique when removing the old wiper: first lift the wiper arm to expose the metal hook of the U-shaped connector. Then pinch the protruding side of the plastic buckle in the middle of the wiper blade and press it all the way down to easily pull it out. The new wiper blades came with four rubber protective sleeves—remember to put them on the metal arms to avoid scratches. When I started the car after installation, I heard a "squeak—" noise; turns out I forgot to remove the protective plastic film on the rubber strip, which almost made me look silly.
