- Find the rotating component at the center, hold your new blade with the rubber facing up, and rotate it 90 degrees.
- Slide the blade arm’s hook over the hole in the solid portion of the back of the blade where the spinning piece once rested.
- Put the blade arm’s hook over the spinning portion of the blade and draw the wiper blade’s solid back away from the car until you hear a “click” to signal that it is securely fastened.
- Remove your windshield rag for protection, turn the blade so it is lined up with the blade arm, and lay the blade arm into position. You’re finished!
How can you take the Toyota wipers from the windshield?
Since changing windshield wipers can occasionally be perplexing, we’ve also included a brief YouTube video at the end of this blog post that you can watch if that helps.
- To remove the blade arm from the windshield, raise it. You might wish to place a folded piece of cloth on the windshield to protect it from any unintentional downward swings of the arm.
- The blade should be 90 degrees turned so that it is parallel to the blade arm.
- Find the tab that secures the blade to the hook, press it in, and then draw the blade’s back down toward the car.
- The hook will deform the blade’s soft rubber portion, but it will provide you enough space to slide the blade to the side and remove the hook from the blade arm’s hole.
