REMOVAL
FRONT
NOTE: The notched end of the wiper element flexor should always be oriented towards the end of the wiper blade that is nearest to the wiper pivot.
1. Lift the front wiper arm (2) to raise the wiper blade and element off of the glass, until the wiper arm hinge is in its over-center position.
2. To remove the wiper blade from the wiper arm, depress the pivot block latch release tab (4) under the tip of the arm and slide the blade away from the tip towards the pivot end of the arm far enough to disengage the pivot block (3) from the hook formation (5) on the end of the arm.
3. Extract the hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm through the opening in the wiper blade superstructure (1) just ahead of the wiper blade pivot block/latch unit.
CAUTION: Do not allow the wiper arm to spring back against the glass without the wiper blade in place or the glass may be damaged.
4. Gently lower the tip of the wiper arm onto the glass.
