Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear and cracking.
Replacement blades come in
different types and are removed in
different ways. For proper type and
length, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 11-13.
To replace the windshield wiper
blade:
1. Open the hood.
2. Pull the windshield wiper
assembly away from the
windshield.
3. Lift up on the latch in the middle
of the wiper blade where the
wiper arm attaches.
4. With the latch open, pull the
wiper blade down toward the
windshield far enough to release
it from the J-hooked end of the
wiper arm.
