Wiper Blade Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear or cracking.
See Maintenance Schedule on
page 11‑4
.

It is a good idea to clean or replace
the wiper blade assembly on a
regular basis or when worn.
For proper windshield wiper blade
length and type, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 11‑15
.

To replace the wiper blade
assembly:

1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with

the engine off.

2. Turn on the windshield wipers

and turn them off again when
the wipers are in the out-wipe
position. The driver side blade
will be straight up and down on
the windshield.

3. Pull the windshield wiper

assembly away from the
windshield.

4. Lift up the wiper blade

assembly cap.

5. Pull the wiper blade assembly

down far enough to release it
from the J-hooked end of the
wiper arm. Slide the assembly
away from the arm.

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 your warranty.
Do not allow the wiper blade arm
to touch the windshield.

6. Replace the blade with a

new one.

7. Reinstall the wiper blade

assembly by sliding it over the
wiper arm to engage the
J-hooked end. Pull up on the
assembly to lock it into place.

8. Repeat the steps for the other

wiper.
