- Remove the new wiper blade from its packaging.
Before beginning, make sure you have the correct wiper blades for your vehicle. You can check your owner's manual or look online to find the right size and type of wiper blades for your car. Once you have the new wiper blades, you can remove them from their packaging.

Both arms should now have new wiper blades securely attached. You can now lower the wiper arms back down to their proper place and test out the new wiper blades. To test the wiper blades, spray your windshield down with a mixture of water and dish soap and then turn on your windshield wipers to make sure they are working properly. If you followed all the steps above correctly, then you should now have a brand new set of wiper blades that will keep your windshield nice and clean.
- Lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
Once the new wiper blade is securely fastened, you can lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Make sure that the blade is making full contact with the glass and that it is properly aligned.
