3. Remove the metal stiffeners from each
blade rubber and install them in the
new blade.
CAUTION
Do not bend or discard the stieners. You
need to use them again.
If the metal stieners are switched,
the blade's wiping eciency could be
reduced.
So do not use the driver's side metal
stieners on the passenger's side, or vice
versa.
Be sure to reinstall the metal stieners in
the new blade rubber so that the curve
is the same as it was in the old blade
rubber.
4. Carefully insert the new blade rubber.
Then install the blade assembly in the
reverse order of removal.
NOTE
Install the blade so that the tabs are
toward the bottom of the wiper arm.
