Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Raise the wiper arm and turn the blade
assembly to expose the plastic locking
clip.
Compress the clip and slide the
assembly downward; then lift it off the
arm.
2. Hold the end of the rubber and pull
until the tabs are free of the metal
support.
Remove the metal stiffeners from the
blade rubber and install them in new
blades.
A CAUTION
Don’t bend the stiffeners. You need
to use them again.
If the metal stiffeners are switched,
the blade’s wiping efficiency could
be reduced.
So don’t use the driver’s side metal
stiffeners on the passenger’s side, or
vice versa.
Be sure to reinstall the metal
stiffeners in the new blade rubber so
that the curve is the same as it was
in the old blade rubber.
