Front Wiper Blade Replacement
To replace the wiper blade assembly:
1. Pull the windshield wiper assembly away
from the windshield.
2. Lift up on the latch in the middle of the
wiper blade where the wiper arm
attaches.
3. With the latch open, pull the wiper blade
down toward the windshield far enough
to release it from the J-hooked end of
the wiper arm.
4. Remove the wiper blade.
5. Reverse Steps 1 3 for wiper blade
replacement.
Rear Wiper Blade Replacement
To remove the wiper blade:
1. Lift the wiper arm away from the

the rear wiper blade.
2. Push the release lever to disengage the
hook and push the wiper arm toward the
center of the vehicle and out of the
blade assembly.
3. Push the new blade assembly securely
on the wiper arm until the release lever
clicks into place.
