Materials Needed:
- New Rear Wiper Blade
- Soft Cloth
- Glass Cleaner
- Flat-Head Screwdriver (optional)
Instructions:
1. Park the vehicle: Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off. Engage the parking brake for added safety.
2. Locate the rear wiper: The rear wiper is usually situated at the back of the vehicle, above the rear window.
3. Lift the wiper arm: Gently lift the rear wiper arm to an upright position. This will make it easier to remove the old wiper blade.
4. Press the release button (if applicable): Some wiper arms have a release button or tab. Press this button to release the old wiper blade. If there is no release button, you may need to use a flat-head screwdriver to pry the blade off the arm.
5. Remove the old wiper blade: Once the release button is pressed, or the screwdriver is used, slide the old wiper blade off the wiper arm.
6. Clean the wiper arm (optional): Use a soft cloth and some glass cleaner to clean the wiper arm. Removing dirt and debris from the arm can help ensure proper contact with the new blade.
7. Install the new wiper blade: Slide the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm. Ensure that the blade is properly seated and firmly attached.
8. Lower the wiper arm: Gently lower the wiper arm back to its original position.
9. Test the wiper: Turn on the rear wiper and check that it is working properly. Make sure it is wiping the rear windshield effectively and clearing any water or debris.
Note: The steps mentioned above are general guidelines and may vary slightly based on the specific Acura MDX model and year. It's always a good idea to refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions related to replacing the rear wiper.
