How to change the wipers?

Front and rear windshield wipers are essential equipment for good visibility in all weather conditions. Like all wearing parts, they wear out over time. It is advisable to change them at the first sign of a malfunction.

Required material:

• New wipers
• Window wash jar
• Protective gloves
• Toolbox

Step 1. Remove the wiper blades.

Begin by gently lifting the wipers up so that they no longer come into contact with the windshield. When they are in an upright position, be careful not to drop them onto the windshield suddenly, as they could damage it.

Locate the clip holding the wiper blades, then carefully detach them from each wiper you wish to replace.

Step 2. Clean your windshield

Since you are about to install brand new wipers, it is highly recommended that you clean the windshield and the area where the wipers are located when they are not activated. Indeed, this will remove as much dirt as possible and prevent new wipers from getting dirty right away.

Step 3: attach new brushes

Press lightly on the wiper blade clip to install correctly. Before putting them on, make sure they are the correct length to cover the entire windshield while driving.

Step 4. Check your new wipers

When you have replaced all the wipers, you will need to check their operation. First check the level of the windshield washer fluid in the designated reservoir under the hood. If it's low, pour in a fair amount.
