Tools and Materials:
- New wiper blades (choose the correct size for your vehicle)
- A flat-head screwdriver or a wiper blade removal tool
- A clean cloth
Instructions:
1. Park your car and turn off the engine. Ensure that the wipers are in the "parked" position (against the windshield).
2. Locate the release mechanism. On most Peugeot 306 models, there's a small tab or button on the wiper arm that locks the wiper blade in place. This release mechanism is usually located near the base of the wiper arm, where it connects to the windshield.
3. Press the release mechanism. Use your finger or the flat-head screwdriver to gently press the release mechanism. This should disengage the wiper blade from the wiper arm.
4. Remove the old wiper blade. Once the blade is disengaged, lift it up and pull it straight out of the wiper arm.
5. Clean the wiper arm. Before installing the new wiper blade, take a clean cloth and wipe the wiper arm to remove any dirt, grime, or debris. This will ensure the new wiper blade functions properly and smoothly.
6. Insert the new wiper blade. Align the new wiper blade with the wiper arm, and then slide it into place. Make sure it's securely attached to the arm and that the release mechanism is engaged.
7. Repeat the process for the other wiper arm. If your Peugeot 306 has two wipers, repeat steps 3-6 to replace the wiper blade on the other side of the windshield.
8. Test the wipers. Once both wiper blades are installed, turn on the wipers and test them to ensure they're working correctly. They should move smoothly and wipe away water effectively.
That's it! By following these simple steps, you can easily change the wiper blades on your Peugeot 306 and keep your windshield clear during inclement weather.
