How To Change Your Wipers

Something that is often over looked but is SUPER easy to change, windshield wipers are really important, for obvious reasons.

No tools needed.

Step 1
Go to your local parts store and you can either ask them to look up your wiper sizes (typically the drivers side is longer than the passengers side). Or you can use one of these machines that are typically set up where the wipers are displayed.

Step 2
Raise your wiper arms up, they typically stay up because of the springs at the joint.

Step 3
Remove your wiper. This is different for each brand/style of wiper. Typically theres a clip to push. On mine, you have to first grip the cover.

Then pull it up.

Then slide it down to remove it.

Step 4
Install new wipers in reverse procedure. DONE! Enjoy having a clean windshield in a rain storm.



Note: Just because your wipers are leaving streaks doesn't necessarily mean that they are bad. There could be dirt clogging the blades that push the water, breaking the seal and leaving streaks. Simply raise them up and clean then off gently with your finger. Also, it is crucial to keep your windshield clean as well. Sap and other road grime builds up and causes an uneven surface for the blades to run across. Also, not to mention a dirty window is a safety hazard while driving, especially at night because it can cause lights to glare on the glass, impairing your vision.
