Replacing the wiper blades on your 2016 Ram 1500 is a straightforward process that ensures clear visibility during adverse weather conditions. Follow these simple steps to get the job done efficiently.
Tools You’ll Need:
Replacement wiper blades compatible with a 2016 Ram 1500 (typically 22-inch for both driver and passenger sides).
Step-by-Step Guide:
Lift the Wiper Arms:
Carefully raise the wiper arms away from the windshield. They should stay in an upright position, allowing you to work on them easily.
Locate the Release Tab:
Inspect the connection where the blade meets the wiper arm. Most 2016 Ram 1500 models use a "hook" style attachment. Find the small tab or button that secures the blade to the arm.
Remove the Old Blade:
Press and hold the release tab while sliding the blade down and away from the hook. It may require a gentle push, but avoid applying too much force to prevent damage to the wiper arm.
Attach the New Blade:
Align the new blade with the hook and slide it into place until you hear a click or feel it lock securely. Ensure the blade is tightly attached to avoid accidents during operation.
Test the Connection:
Gently tug on the blade to confirm it is firmly installed. Lower the wiper arms back onto the windshield carefully to prevent damage to the glass.
Test Your Wipers:
Start your car and turn on the wipers to check if they operate smoothly. Make sure they wipe the windshield without making noises or leaving streaks.
Pro Tips for Wiper Maintenance:
Pick the Right Size: Check your vehicle’s manual or ask a parts expert to confirm the correct blade size. Using the wrong size might cause performance issues or damage.
Replace on Time: Swap out wiper blades every 6–12 months, or sooner if you notice skipping, streaking, or annoying squeaks.
Clean Before Installing: Always clean your windshield thoroughly before fitting new blades to get the best results.
Don’t Hesitate to Ask for Help: If the installation feels tricky.
