Fig. 1.115. Windshield wiper blade replacement diagram: 1 – brush; 2 – retainer; 3 – lever; 5 – hook; A, B – directions of removal
With the engine stopped, lift the windshield wiper arm 3 (fig. 1.115).
Place the brush in a horizontal position.
Press the lock 2 and move the brush towards the base of the wiper arm so as to completely release the hook 5 of the wiper arm.
Move the brush to the side (in direction A) and remove it from the wiper arm (in direction B).
Install the brush in the reverse order. Check the reliability of the brush fastening on the wiper arm.
Note: When the ambient temperature is below zero, make sure that the windshield wiper blades are not frozen to the glass: this may cause the windshield wiper motor to overheat.
Note: Monitor the condition of the brushes, replace them if the quality of glass cleaning deteriorates (about once a year).
