2 Answers
The method for replacing car wiper blades is: 1. Lift the metal wiper arm away from the windshield and keep it stable in a position perpendicular to the windshield; 2. Press the tab to remove the old wiper blade; 3. Insert the new wiper blade and gently rotate it; 4. Hook the new blade into place to secure it, then return the wiper to the windshield. The maintenance methods for wiper blades are: 1. Always use windshield washer fluid when operating wiper blades - never use them dry; 2. Do not use wiper blades to remove stubborn, hard debris - clean these manually instead; 3. When lifting wipers during car washing or routine cleaning, only hold the spine of the wiper arm.
Replacing windshield wiper blades is actually quite simple. I usually do it myself to save money and convenience. First, park the car on a safe and level surface, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake. Gently lift the wiper arm—the long rod connected to the wiper blade—there's usually a release button to press, allowing you to remove the old blade entirely. Be careful not to let the wiper arm suddenly fall and shatter the windshield. Check the connection method of the old blade; common types include hooks or clips, which can be easily opened and removed. Buy new wiper blades that match your car model from an auto shop or online, ensuring the correct size. When installing the new blade, align it with the slot and push until it clicks into place—you should hear a sound. Finally, gently lower the wiper arm back to its original position, start the car, and test the wipers to ensure there are no streaks or noise. It's recommended to replace them every six months or a year. If the wiping performance is poor or there's unusual noise, replace them immediately, especially before the rainy season, to ensure safer driving and clearer visibility.
