Checking your vehicle\u2019s wiper blades every six to 12 months is a good routine to fall into. Over time the rubber on the wipers will wear out and leave you with a set of mediocre wiper blades.

  2. Remove the old wipers by pressing on the tab where the wiper blade and arm meet.<\/li>\n
  3. As you press the tab, pull downward to slide the blade off.<\/li>\n
  4. Attach the new blade by inserting the wiper arm into the opening at the middle of the blade and pull the blade upwards until you hear it click into place.<\/li>\n
