How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Levin?
2 Answers
Press the clip at the bottom, then remove the original wiper blade from one side, but be very careful to avoid the wiper arm snapping back. Lift the front end of the middle clip slightly, insert the wiper blade into the middle clip, pull it tight, and you will hear a click indicating successful installation.
I've changed the wiper blades three times on my Levin, and it's super easy to do it yourself. First, turn off the engine and enter maintenance mode: quickly flick the wiper stalk once and then immediately turn off the ignition, the wipers will stop in the middle for easy removal. Press the square clip at the base of the wiper arm and push it upwards, and the entire rubber blade can be pulled out. When buying new wiper blades, remember to measure the original size, usually 26 inches for the driver's side and 18 inches for the passenger's side. When installing, you should hear a click to ensure it's securely fastened, then finally turn on the power and test with windshield washer fluid. A pair of beam-style wiper blades from a convenience store for thirty bucks works just fine, don't believe the dealership when they say you must use OEM. Changing the rubber blades every three months is the safest bet, waiting until streaks appear can damage the glass.
