Introduction

Windshield wipers are a very important part of a car that many people often take for granted. If you have poor windshield wipers your vision could be impaired possibly putting you in danger. While changing the wipers on your car may sound scary to some people it is actually very easy to do.

One way to tell if your wiper blades need to be changed is if they are making noises or leaving streaks behind during or after operation they may need to be replaced. This guide will show you how to replace both front wipers as well as the rear wiper.

Remember, when working on any car repair, to make sure the car is off and in park.

    • Lift up the wiper blade and rotate the wiper 90 degrees.

    • There will be some resistance, however you should not need to use a lot of force. If it does not come off easy you may be doing it wrong.

Conclusion

To reinstall the wipers slide the wiper in the opposite direction as taking them off.
