Pin-Mounted Blade
Use a tape measure to find the old wiper blade and measure its size. Be sure to measure the length of the left and right sides of the front wiper blade as they may be slightly different in size.
Refer directly to the owner's manual for the correct wiper blade size, or can also check your auto parts store's wiper blade catalog. You can tell if the wipers are pin mounts because they attach to the side of the blade rather than through the top.
Installation example is as follows:
1. Lift the wiper arm from the windshield. Grasp the wiper arm just above where it connects to the blade. Slowly pull up on the wiper arm so that the blade is disengaged from the wiper arm and perpendicular to the windshield. Place a towel on the windshield under the wiper blades. Make sure it doesn't damage the glass.
2. Open the latch on the wiper blade and pull it off the pin. Look for a small plastic or metal latch clip where the blade connects to the end of the wiper arm. Pull up on the latch to unlock it from the wiper arm. Then, push the wiper blade toward the windshield to remove it from the pin.
If your pin-mounted wiper blades don't have latches, rotate the wiper around the pins so the blades push toward the windshield. Your wiper blades will then be removed from the pins.
3. Push the new wiper blade onto the pin and snap the latch on. Open the latch on the new wiper blade. Hold the new wiper blades with the blades facing the windshield. Then simply slide the pin through the same size hole on the side of the blade latch. Finally, press the latch until it clicks and place the wiper arm and blade back onto the windshield.
