Start on your RAV4’s driver side. The majority of blades are secured by a small clip. As if sliding the blade along the wiper arm, push that clip up toward the arm while pushing the blade backward.

On a 2007 RAV4, how do you replace the rear wiper blade?

- Take away the wiper. The wiper will gently click free from the wiper arm once it has been turned.
- Put the replacement blade in place. Put the replacement wiper blade’s little bar attachment into the wiper arm’s hook.
- The blade should be secured.
- Done!

Wiper blade and refill
To replace the wiper blades’ worn-out rubber component, buy refills. The entire blade does not have to be purchased.
Nothing is more essential than having clear visibility when you’re driving. But I frequently put off replacing my wipers, just like the majority of other drivers. Wipers should be changed every six months, particularly if you park outside and live in a dusty area like the desert.
The lower wiper arm that sticks out from the cowl, the blade that fastens to the wiper arm, and the rubber refill that wipes the glass make up your windshield wiper assembly. The component that eventually degrades due to harsh weather, dust, and filth is the thin rubber replacement. Most of the time, as we demonstrate in this post on how to change wiper blades, you can simply replace the wiper refill.
The blade can, however, also deteriorate and lose its grip on the glass, or even slightly bend due to ice and snow. Replace the entire blade if there is chatter or if the entire blade isn’t making contact with the windshield. Wiper blade installation simply takes a minute. Every two years, you need change the entire blade (which is offered with refills).
Tip: Cleaning your windshield every time you fill up with gas will prolong the life of your wipers and keep them functioning properly. To eliminate grit, you should also wipe the entire rubber insert with a wet cloth.
