Maybe you’re not ready to perform a total engine replacement. Maybe you aren’t ready to change a flat tire. Maybe you never will be—these tasks aren’t for everybody.

However, if there’s one car-care task that you ARE fully capable of performing all by yourself, it’s windscreen wiper blade replacement.

Your windshield wiper blades should be smooth, quiet, and efficient. They should also easily push water and debris aside with no squeaking, bouncing or smearing.

If the blades on your car are noisy, shaky and leaving streaks on your windscreen, it’s time to replace them.

Fortunately, every step in the replacement process—from identifying the right replacement blades to completing the installation—is incredibly easy.

Let’s review everything a beginner needs to know in order to confidently perform a blade replacement, including:

• The quick and easy process (less than five minutes) for finding the right blade replacements for your vehicle

• The simple steps involved in replacing wiper blades

If you’re not an automotive enthusiast, we know that an auto parts store can be a confusing and intimidating place. That’s why we’ve designed a painless system for quickly finding the exact replacement blades that your vehicle requires.

To get started, navigate to the “SEARCH BY CAR” box on the Wipertech home page. Enter your vehicle’s make, model and year into the search box. You’ll be directed to the precise set of blades that will perfectly fit your wipers.

No matter what you drive, we have the wiper refills you need. Even if your vehicle model is obscure or antique, we’ve got you covered. If you have any doubts, just contact our team, and we’ll ensure you get the exact blades that fit your car or truck.

Wipertech blade purchases are protected by our Perfect Fit Guarantee. If your new blades don’t fit, we’ll arrange a fast replacement or refund.

Best of all, our process is beginner-friendly. Once you place an order, we’ll send along a short installation video that shows every simple step in action.

Now, let’s have a detailed look at every move you’ll make during a windscreen blade replacement.

The first step is a satisfying one: removing the old blades. Were they noisy, grimy, and nearly useless? Well, their days of squeaking, bouncing and smearing are over.

Removing old blades is easy. You won’t need pliers or other tools, and the process takes less than a minute.

Just follow these steps to remove your old blades:

1. Rotate the blade to a 90-degree angle with the metal wiper arm.

2. Press down on the wiper blade tab, then slide the blade down until you feel it disengage.

3. Remove the old blade from the arm.
   

To see blade removal and installation in action, check out this video. Or, you can view the video on the product page for whichever blade you’ll be ordering for your vehicle.

After removing the old wiper blades, you’ll be brimming with confidence. Mechanic school? Not necessary. Clearly, all you require to complete advanced car repairs are a few well-written how-to guides.

Carry that positive energy into Step 2. Installing new wiper blades is just as easy as removing old ones. You can complete the whole process in a minute or two.

Details may vary somewhat from model to model, but wiper blade installation typically involves these four steps:

1. Open the tab on the wiper blade connector.

2. Move the wiper arm into the connector.

3. Slide the blade up until you hear it lock into place.

4. Close the tab on the connector.

That’s that. It’s the easiest car maintenance task there is, but we’re still proud of you.

Once you’ve installed your new blades, perform a quick check to make sure the fit is secure. If you felt or heard a gentle click as the blade slid into place, then everything is probably in order. Just give the connector a light squeeze to be sure the fit feels sturdy.
