Changing your wiper blades
At every MassCarCare.com station we are more than happy to change your windshield wiper blades, but if you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
- Purchase the correct replacement windshield wiper blades for your car from a masscarcar.com station. Buy the entire blade, not just the rubber blade insert.
- Open the package and find the attachment that matches the one on the wiper blade on your car. Read through the directions to see how to connect the attachment to the blade.
- Pull the wiper arm up so it is no longer resting on the windshield.
- Remove the old wiper blade from the wiper arm. This typically involves pushing on a tab and pulling the wiper blade off or lifting a tab with a small screwdriver.
- Insert the attachment onto the new blade or onto the wiper arm. On some cars, it may be easier to put the attachment on the wiper blade first; on other models, it is easier to first put the attachment onto the wiper arm. Listen for a click.
- Tug on the wiper blade to make sure it is securely attached and won't fly off later.
