Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement - Chevrolet 2001 Impala Owner's Manual

Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be inspected at least
twice a year for wear or cracking. See "Windshield
Wipers, Blade Check" in the Index for
more information.
Replacement blades come in different types and are
removed in different ways. For proper type and length,
see "Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts" in the
Index. Here's how to remove the wiper blades:
1. Turn on the wipers to the low wipe setting.
2. Turn off the ignition while the wipers are at the
outer positions of the wiper pattern. The blades are
more accessible for removal/replacement while in
this position.
3. Pull the windshield wiper arm away from
the windshield.
6-40
4. While holding the wiper arm away from the glass,
push the release clip from under the blade
connecting point and pull the old blade assembly
down toward the glass to remove it from the
wiper arm.
5. Push the new wiper blade securely on the wiper arm
until you hear the release clip "click" into place.
