However, here's a general guide and things to keep in mind:
1. Gather Materials:
* New rear wiper blade: Ensure you get the correct size and type for your Lexus RX350. You can check your owner's manual or consult a parts store.
* Protective gloves (optional): These can help prevent getting dirt under your fingernails.
2. Locate the Wiper Arm:
* The rear wiper arm is usually located at the top center of the rear window.
3. Release the Wiper Blade:
* Push-Button Release: Some rear wiper arms have a push-button release mechanism located on the arm itself. Press the button to release the blade.
* Lever Release: Other arms may have a lever located near the base of the wiper arm. Move the lever to release the blade.
* Consult Your Owner's Manual: Check your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to release the wiper blade on your vehicle.
4. Remove the Old Wiper Blade:
* Once the blade is released, gently pull it away from the arm.
5. Install the New Wiper Blade:
* Align the new blade with the arm and gently push it into place.
* Make sure it clicks into place securely.
6. Test the Wiper:
* Turn on the rear wiper to ensure it's working properly.
Additional Tips:
* Clean the Wiper Arm: Before installing the new blade, use a clean cloth to wipe down the wiper arm to remove any dirt or debris.
* Check for Wear: When installing the new blade, also inspect the condition of the wiper arm. If it's damaged or worn, it may need to be replaced as well.
* Choose Quality Blades: Using high-quality wiper blades can improve visibility and help prevent scratches on your rear window.
Important Note:
* Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
* If you are not comfortable performing this task yourself, seek professional help from a qualified mechanic.
Remember that this is a general guide. Always refer to your vehicle's specific owner's manual for detailed instructions. If you have any doubts or need further clarification, it's always best to consult a professional mechanic.
