Transcript:

• If the blade you purchased has a plastic blade guard for protection, be sure to remove it before installation.
• Lift up on these wiper arms so that the blades aren’t resting against the windshield. That will give you access to the blades and the clips that hold them on.
• Start on the driver’s side, and after pivoting the blade… push the clip back toward the wiper arm. Then slide the blade down toward the windshield. Once it’s disengaged from the hook, the blade can be removed.
• Position your new blade so that it can be slid down into place on the hook. As you pull the blade toward the end of the arm, you’ll hear it click into position.
• Pivot the blade back against the arm, and carefully lower it to the windshield—wiper arms can cause damage if they’re allowed to spring down into the glass. Repeat this process on the passenger side, and you’re good to go.
• If you’ve got wiper blades that attach with clips, you’ll either press in on each side of the clip or depress the tab on the top to release the old blade.
• Once you’ve slipped off the old blade, carefully slide the new one into position until you hear it snap into place. Then repeat that process on the other side.
If you’ve changed your blades and still have poor visibility, it’s possible your issue is a wiper arm. Stop by and we’ll help you find the one you need if that’s the case.
We have a wide selection of wiper blades for your vehicle at your local O’Reilly Auto Parts store and OReillyAuto.com. Also, if you pick up your new wiper blades at a store, we’d be happy to install them for free. Don’t forget to change your rear blade if you’ve got one.
