Replace front wiper blade rubber

For original tab-retained holders; aftermarket blades need their own instructions.

An abstract front wiper holder indent is aligned with the rubber tab. Seated and loose outcomes are contrasted. Dimensions and replacement lengths are intentionally omitted.

4 Check the result

  • How did the fitted blades behave on wet glass?
  • Both securely retained and wiping without loose movement or scratching
  • Record only the result you actually observed. A saved web checklist is not confirmation that a vehicle has been repaired.
  • Are both tabs engaged and both blades secure after the wet-glass test?
  • With hands clear and glass wet, do both blades stay attached and wipe without scratching or loose movement?

Select what you actually observed. If you have only prepared the plan, record that instead.

Stop and get help if

  • Aftermarket attachment, bent arm or a damaged holder
  • Blade loose, retention uncertain or scratching: stop using the wipers and have the fit checked.
  • A part, label, connector or fastener differs from the cited manual; access requires raising the vehicle; you cannot identify the correct component.
