The method for removing windshield wiper blades is: 1. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield; 2. Press and hold the release lock pin, then slide the wiper blade along the wiper arm to remove it. Windshield wipers, also known as wipers, water blades, or windshield wipers, are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield to improve the driver's visibility and enhance driving safety. The maintenance methods for windshield wipers are: 1. When using wipers on sunny days, spray windshield washer fluid and avoid dry wiping; 2. Do not use wipers to remove stubborn or hard debris; 3. In winter, first use an ice scraper to remove ice chips from the glass surface before using the wipers; 4. Do not snap the wipers back abruptly when washing the car or during daily cleaning.
Here's how I replace my wiper blades every time: First, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield to prevent it from snapping back and hurting your hand or damaging the glass. Then locate the small clip at the end of the blade, which could be plastic or metal. Press it down gently or use a small screwdriver to pry it open, allowing you to slowly slide out the old blade. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid breaking the clip, or you'll need to buy a new one. I always wear a pair of old gloves to prevent scratches. If the old blade is cracked, it must be replaced—otherwise, it won’t clear water properly in the rain, making driving dangerous. Installing the new blade follows the same steps: align it properly and then secure the clip. I find it easier to do this on a sunny day when there’s less dust. I usually replace them every six months for maintenance, so I don’t run into issues on the road. The whole process is quite simple and takes less than 10 minutes.
