Wiper Blade Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear and cracking.
See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 11 2 for more information.
Replacement blades come in
different types and are removed
in different ways. For proper type
and length, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 11 9.
To replace the windshield wiper
blade:
1. Pull the windshield wiper
assembly away from the
windshield.
2. Lift up on plastic latch in the
middle of the wiper blade where
the wiper arm attaches.
3. With the latch open, pull the
wiper blade down towards the
windshield far enough to release
it from the J-hooked end of the
wiper arm.
4. Remove the wiper blade.
Allowing the wiper blade arm to
touch the windshield when no
wiper blade is installed could
damage the windshield. Any
damage that occurs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not allow the wiper
blade to touch the windshield.
5. Reverse Steps 1 through 3 for
wiper blade replacement.
