Changing Rear Window Wipers - Volvo XC40 Owner's Manual

Changing rear window wipers

The wiper blades help remove water from the
windshield and rear window. Along with the
washer fluid, they clean the glass and help
improve visibility while driving. The windshield
and rear window wiper blades can be replaced.
Changing rear window wipers
Lift the wiper arm from the window and pull the lower
section of the blade to the right.
Grasp the center of the wiper blade and
1.
lift it from the window to the stop position.
NOTE
When the wiper arm is halfway folded out, it
will stop in a locking position that helps pre-
vent the arm from falling back onto the rear
window. The wiper arm must be pulled past
the locking position stop in order to change
the wiper blade.
Grip the lower part of the blade and pull
2.
to the right until the blade loosens from the
arm.
3. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks into
place. Check to make sure the blade is
securely in place.
4. Fold the wiper arm back toward the window.
CAUTION
Check the blades regularly. Neglected main-
tenance shortens the life of the blades.
