Sagitar wiper blade replacement steps: 1. Lift the metal wiper arm away from the vehicle's windshield; 2. Keep the wiper perpendicular to the windshield and steady; 3. There is a small plastic tab where the wiper rubber blade contacts the metal arm that holds the blade in place; 4. Press the tab to remove the old wiper blade and separate it from the metal arm; 5. Insert the new wiper blade and gently rotate the new blade until the hook snaps into place to secure it. The Sagitar is equipped with: a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 85KW and maximum torque of 175NM.
I often do car maintenance myself, and replacing wiper blades is quite simple. After parking and turning off the engine, avoid letting the wiper arm hit the glass directly to prevent damage. Lift the wiper arm, and there's usually a small clip at the wiper blade connection—press firmly to remove the old blade. When selecting new wiper blades, make sure they match the 18-inch standard for the Sagitar, then align and push them into the slot until you hear a click, indicating they're securely fixed. Gently lower the wiper arm back down, start the engine to test, and spray some windshield washer fluid to check if it wipes clean. I recommend replacing them every six months and checking for rubber wear more frequently in harsh weather to ensure clearer and safer driving visibility. Don’t skimp by buying low-quality products—silicone blades are more durable and quieter. Also, cleaning windshield stains regularly can extend the wiper blades' lifespan.
