STANDARD PROCEDURE

REAR ELEMENT REPLACEMENT

1. Remove the rear wiper blade (3) from the wiper arm. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WIPER BLADE - REMOVAL - REAR).
2. Grasp one of the wiper blade links (4) firmly with one hand, and grasp the wiper element (1) and flexor (2) midway between the two sets of claws (5) for that link with the other hand.
3. Pull the element and flexor away from the link until they flex enough to disengage them from the end pair of claws.
4. Slide the element and flexor toward the loose end to disengage them from the remaining sets of claws.
5. Reverse this process to install a new element and flexors into the wiper blade.
6. Reinstall the wiper blade into the wiper arm. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS/REAR WIPER BLADE - INSTALLATION).
