What is the method for replacing wiper blades?

The method for replacing wiper blades is: 1. Prepare a clean soft cloth; 2. Move the wiper arm to the upright position; 3. Press the button and pull out the old wiper blade upwards; 4. After cleaning with the soft cloth, insert the new blade from the lower square opening. The wiper blade refers to the rubber strip under the wiper frame, which is the layer of rubber that closely adheres to the glass. The wiper, also known as the windscreen wiper, is a device used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety.
Recently replaced my own wiper blades and found it's not as complicated as imagined. First, prop up and secure the wiper arm - this is crucial. I didn't pay attention initially and it snapped back, leaving a small dent on the windshield. Then locate the metal clip at the end of the rubber strip, press it and pull to remove the old blade. When installing the new blade, check the arrow direction first, align both ends with the track and push until you hear a 'click' sound indicating proper installation. After installation, remember to test with windshield washer fluid - the blade should make even contact across the entire glass surface. Special reminder: prepare a dry towel as padding since the metal wiper arm head can easily scratch car paint during operation. Also, spring and autumn are the best seasons for blade replacement as rubber maintains optimal elasticity between 10-25°C. Winter replacements risk breaking the clips due to brittle rubber.
