How to Change Windshield Wipers

Windshield wipers wiping raindrops

The service team at Edwards Hyundai gets asked sometimes how to change windshield wipers. Since we are always happy to help, we thought Council Bluffs drivers would appreciate this guide on how to change windshield wipers. Windshield wipers typically last about six to twelve months, but the rubber can wear out sooner if used often with snow, ice, and other extreme temperatures. If you find that your windshield wipers aren’t doing their job anymore, schedule an appointment with the Edwards Hyundai service center or order a new set online.

Signs That You Need New Windshield Wipers

Watch for any of these signs that it’s time to change wipers, and be sure to take care of it right away so you’ll stay safe on Omaha, NE roads::

  • Screeching Noise
  • Cracked Rubber
  • Separated Blades
  • Loose chunks that fly off
  • Gaps in windshield clearing pattern

Steps To Change Wipers

Windshield wipers are easy and inexpensive to replace and our parts specials make them even more cost-effective. So, once you’ve ordered your windshield wipers, follow these instructions on how to change windshield wipers.

  1. Position your windshield wipers so that they’re upright.
  2. Gently pull them away from the windshield.
  3. Read the instructions that are on the packaging for how to remove them. You’ll have to depress a tab to pull them off or slide them off using the wiper arm.
  4. Clean your windshield first to prevent dust, dirt, and debris from getting on your new windshield wipers.
  5. Install your new windshield wipers by doing the reverse of steps number two and three.
  6. Carefully return your windshield wipers to their regular position.
  7. Discard your old wiper blades.

The whole process shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. Of course, you can contact us if you’d rather have our service technicians do it for you. We can also do it during your next service appointment at our dealership near Atlantic.
