Replacing wiper blades

Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold blade at right
angles to arm. Pinch the end of the plastic clip located at the
back of the arm.
Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the
hook.
Install new blade (installation is the reverse of removal) and
make sure that it is properly attached to the wiper arm.
For reasons of safety, you should change the windshield
wiper blades as soon as they start to leave marks on the
windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of wiper blades,
clean them with a stiff-bristle brush and warm, soapy water
as part of a normal car wash.
