Repeat the process for the other wiper blade.
Once you have removed the old wiper blade, it is time to install the new one. Start by lifting the wiper arm straight up and away from the vehicle's windshield, then press the release button for the wiper blade on the wiper arm. The blade will pop out of the arm, and it can then be removed.
To install the new wiper blade, simply align the blade with the wiper arm and snap it into place. You should hear a click when the blade is properly installed. Lower the wiper arm back down to its normal position, and repeat the process for the other wiper blade.
Once both wiper blades have been replaced, test them out by spraying water on the windshield and checking to make sure they are wiping the water away effectively. If the wipers are not working properly, you may need to adjust the tension of the wiper arms or replace the wiper motor.
Test the new wiper blades.
Once the new wiper blades are installed, it's time to test them out. Make sure to test them in both wet and dry conditions to ensure they are working properly. In wet conditions, spray some water on your windshield and turn on the wipers to see how they perform. Pay attention to any streaking, skipping, or chattering noises. If you notice any issues, it may indicate that the wiper blades are not installed correctly or that they are not the right size for your vehicle.
In dry conditions, turn on the wipers to see how they move across the windshield. Make sure they are moving smoothly and not getting caught on anything. If you notice any problems, it may indicate that the wiper blades are not installed correctly or that there is something blocking their movement.
If you are satisfied with the performance of the new wiper blades, you can move on to the next step. If you are not satisfied, you may need to adjust the wiper blades or try a different brand.
Clean the windshield.
Before cleaning the windshield, be sure to inspect the wiper blades. If they are worn or damaged, they will need to be replaced before you can effectively clean the windshield. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the windshield. Be sure to use a gentle touch, as you don’t want to scratch the glass. Once you have removed all of the dirt and debris, you can use a glass cleaner to clean the windshield. Apply the glass cleaner to the cloth and then wipe the windshield in a circular motion. Be sure to rinse the windshield with water after you have cleaned it to remove any remaining glass cleaner.
If the windshield is particularly dirty, you may need to use a stronger cleaning solution. However, be sure to test the solution on a small area of the windshield before using it on the entire windshield. This will help you to make sure that the solution does not damage the windshield.
Once you have cleaned the windshield, be sure to dry it with a clean microfiber cloth. This will help to prevent streaks and water spots from forming on the windshield.
