How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Roewe i5?
2 Answers
Lift the wiper arm naturally upward in the direction of the wiper blade to move it away from the vehicle body. Locate the fixing clip at the connection point between the wiper blade and the wiper arm. Pull the locking tab outward, then spread the wiper blade outward to separate it from the wiper arm. Proceed to replace the wiper blade rubber. At the corresponding port, gently insert a flat-head screwdriver about 1 cm to pry open the hook. Remove the old rubber strip and insert the new one. Use the screwdriver again to press the hook tightly against the rubber strip. Finally, trim any excess rubber strip and reattach the cap.
I often replace the wiper blades of my Roewe i5 by myself, so I’d like to share some tips. Parking and turning off the engine is crucial to avoid damaging the windshield. Lift the wiper arm to expose the small clip—press it in and gently pull to remove the old blade. Choose new wiper blades compatible with the hook-type connector; insert them until you hear a click to secure them. Lower the arm and test the function to ensure smooth operation. It’s recommended to replace them every six months, especially before the rainy season—don’t wait until they can’t wipe clean anymore. Opt for silicone wiper blades for better durability, and spray some degreaser before cleaning the glass to reduce wear. During maintenance, check the wiper motor to prevent unusual noises.
