CAUTION
Don't bend or discard the stiffeners.
l
You need to use them again.
If the metal stiffeners are switched,
l
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
l
stiffeners in the new blade rubber so
that the curve is the same as it was in
the old blade rubber.
6. 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.
