Introduction

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.

What you need

Step 1

              Windshield Wiper
  • Turn on the wipers and turn off the car when they are at the apex of the arc. This will allow easier access to the wiper.
