Windshield Wipers

Can't see very well when it's raining and your wipers just don't seem to be doing the job? Replace them before you can't see.
 
Before you go to buy them, make sure you know the exact model of your car.
 
Materials Needed:
  • New Windshield Wipers
Step 1:
  • Pull the entire wiper assembly up to where they are vertical.
  • Then turn the blade perpendicular to the arm so that you can see the hinge.
  • You'll notice a small tab on one side of the hinge. Pull that tab out.
  • Pull the wiper down towards the car.
  • Now that the blade and arm are separated, remove the blade through one of the holes on the blade. (Don't leave the arm up if you turn away to get your new wipers it could cause damage to your windshield.)
Step 2:
  • Take the new wiper, and insert the arm through the appropriate hole, so that it pushes the actual wiper up. To determine which hole it goes through adjust the hinge to be perpendicular to the wiper and line it up so that the arm's hook will go over the hinge.
  • Once the arm is inside the hole, line the hook over the hinge and push them together.
  • You'll hear and feel a click when it's snapped in.
  • Lower the arm, rinse and repeat.
Your windshield wipers should work as if you just replaced them!

  1. I had to replace my windshield wipers in the middle of a rainstorm once because I couldn't see to drive on the highway. Luckily my boyfriend knew how to replace them, but this would have been super helpful if I had been on my own.
