How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Jetta?
2 Answers
Lift the metal wiper arm of the FAW-Volkswagen Jetta away from the windshield. It is necessary to keep the wiper of the FAW-Volkswagen Jetta perpendicular to the windshield in a stable position. Observe the contact point between the rubber wiper blade and the metal arm of the FAW-Volkswagen Jetta. There is a small plastic tab that secures the blade in place. Insert the new wiper blade for the FAW-Volkswagen Jetta, gently twisting the new blade until the hook snaps into place to secure it. Finally, place the wiper of the FAW-Volkswagen Jetta back onto the windshield. The replacement process for the second wiper is the same.
I've changed the wiper blades on my Jetta several times, and it's quite straightforward. First, turn off the engine and switch off the wipers to prevent accidental activation. Then, lift the wiper arm and gently pull it away from the windshield—be careful not to let it snap back and damage the glass. The old wiper blade has a clip; press or slide it to remove it easily. When buying new wiper blades, make sure to check the model year of your Jetta, as the wrong size won't fit. To install, align the new wiper blade with the hook on the wiper arm and push firmly until it clicks into place, ensuring there's no looseness. Finally, test by spraying some windshield washer fluid and wiping to check for cleanliness and any unusual noises. Doing it yourself saves on repair costs and teaches you a handy skill. Regularly replacing worn wiper blades helps maintain clear visibility and safety.
