Checking Wiper Blades

If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, it will leave streaks and the metal wiper arm may scratch the window glass.

Changing the Wiper Blade Rubber

1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the passenger side.

2. Place a cloth on the edge of the lock tab. Push the lock tab up with a flat-tip screw driver.

3. Slide the blade from the wiper arm.
