Gather tools: flathead screwdriver, new wiper blades, towel or cloth.
Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the ignition.
Lift the wiper arms away from the windshield until they are in a vertical position.

Locate the release tab on the wiper blade where it attaches to the wiper arm.
Press the release tab and slide the old wiper blade off the wiper arm.
If necessary, use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the blade off if it’s stuck.

Take the new wiper blade and align it with the wiper arm.
Slide the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until you hear a click, indicating it is securely attached.
Ensure the blade is firmly in place by gently pulling on it.

Ensure the wipers are aligned properly on the windshield.
