Changing The Wiper Blades - Ford Taurus Owner's Manual

Driver Controls
Press the washer control to activate
the rear washer. The wiper will
come on when the washer control is
pressed, if it is not already on.

Changing the wiper blades

1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
vehicle. Turn the blade at an angle
from the wiper arm. Push the lock
pin manually to release the blade
and pull the wiper blade down
toward the windshield to remove it
from the arm.
2. Attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm and press it into place
until a click is heard.
Replace wiper blades at least once
per year for optimum performance.
Poor wiper quality can sometimes
be improved by cleaning the wiper
blades, refer to Windows and
wiper blades in the Cleaning chapter.
To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.
