Change wiper blades on a 2005 Toyota?

Materials Needed

* New wiper blades (the correct size for your vehicle)

* A flat-head screwdriver

* A soft cloth

Instructions

1. Turn off the engine and put on the parking brake. This will help to prevent any accidents while you are changing the wiper blades.

2. Lift the wiper arms up off the windshield. There is a small tab on the wiper arm that you can press to release it.

3. Remove the old wiper blades. Once the wiper arms are up, you can remove the old wiper blades by pulling them straight off of the wiper arm.

4. Install the new wiper blades. To install the new wiper blades, simply slide them onto the wiper arm until they click into place.

5. Lower the wiper arms back down onto the windshield.

6. Test the wiper blades. Turn the engine on and turn on the wipers. Make sure that the wipers are wiping the windshield properly and that there are no streaks.

Tips

* If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, you can use a de-icer to help loosen them.

* Be careful not to drop the wiper blades when you are removing them.

* If you have any questions about changing the wiper blades on your vehicle, please consult your owner's manual.
