Materials Needed:
1. New wiper blades (make sure they're the correct size for your Mazda Millenia).
2. Clean cloth.
Steps:
1. Lift the Wiper Arm:
- Turn off the ignition of your Mazda Millenia.
- Locate the wiper arm that needs the blade replaced.
- Gently lift the wiper arm until it is perpendicular to the windshield. Be cautious not to let it snap back and hit the glass.
2. Release the Old Wiper Blade:
- Look for the release tab on the old wiper blade.
- Press and hold the release tab while simultaneously pulling the blade straight out from the wiper arm.
3. Install the New Wiper Blade:
- Hold the new wiper blade at a slight angle.
- Align the hook or connector of the new blade with the wiper arm.
- Gently push the blade into place until you hear a click or feel it securely attached to the wiper arm.
4. Lower the Wiper Arm:
- Gently lower the wiper arm back into its original position.
5. Repeat for Other Wiper Blade (if necessary):
- If your Mazda Millenia has two wiper blades, repeat steps 1 to 4 for the other blade.
6. Wipe the Windshield (optional):
- Use a clean cloth to wipe the windshield and remove any smudges or debris to ensure clear visibility.
Additional Tips:
- It's a good practice to replace both wiper blades at the same time to ensure consistent wiping performance.
- Wiper blades should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage.
Remember, if you have any hesitations or concerns about replacing your Mazda Millenia wiper blades, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or consult with a qualified mechanic. Stay safe and happy driving!
