Wiper Blade: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Sprinter. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The wiper arms and wiper blades for this model are both unequal in length, with the longer arm and blade being installed on the left (driver) side of the windshield.
- Lift the wiper arm off of the windshield glass, until the wiper arm hinge is in its over-center position.
- Position the wiper blade near the hook formation on the tip of the arm.
- Insert the hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm through the opening in the wiper blade superstructure ahead of the wiper blade pivot block/latch unit far enough to engage the pivot block with the hook. See Figure.
- Slide the wiper blade pivot block/latch up into the hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm until the latch release tab snaps into its locked position. Latch engagement will be accompanied by an audible click.
- Gently lower the wiper blade onto the glass.
