Installing windshield wipers is possible in three easy steps. You don't need a full 100-page guide to be able to install new windshield wipers. It is as simple as clicking off the old ones and adding the new ones.
The first step in the process is removing the old windshield wipers. You might be replacing them with new ones because they are old or damaged. If they are damaged, try to remove the excess broken parts to prevent them from causing extra damage to your window. For instance, if there is a sharp bit, it could stretch your window during the removal process.
To remove the old windshield wiper, pull it away from the window to an upright position. Then, hold the wiper in place with one hand and use the other hand to click the small tab under the wiper (where it meets the metal arm). The wiper should unclick, and then the next step is finding the right level.
You will want your windshield wipers to be level. Thus, you will need patience and a keen eye for balance for this step. On the side where the wiper attaches back onto the metal arm, click the curved part of the new windshield wiper so that it is pointing away from the wiper blade. Holding the wiper blade upside down, you will be able to see if the new wiper is in line with the curve in the arm.
When everything is in line and in place, you can clip the wiper to the wiper blade, and the job is complete. Fold the windshield wiper down gently and test them to make sure they are working smoothly. Then, you are all done, and you can enjoy your newly installed windshield wipers.
In our opinion, installing new windshield wipes is one of the easiest jobs to do. So long as you are gentle and patient, you will be able to replace them in a matter of minutes. Being gentle will ensure that you can avoid cracking or damaging the windshield window.
