How do you install windshield wiper blades on a Toyota Corolla?

To install new wiper blades on a 2014-2018 Toyota Corolla, follow these steps:

Materials Needed

- New windshield wiper blades (two)

- Microfiber towel

- Glass cleaner

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Turn off your car and ensure the windshield wipers are in the "down" position.

2. Locate the Release Lever: On the wiper arm, find the release lever. Usually, there's a small tab or button you press to release the old blade.

3. Remove Old Blades: Hold the wiper arm steady with one hand, then press the release lever with your other hand. Simultaneously pull the old blade straight up and away from the wiper arm.

4. Clean the Wiper Arm: Use a clean damp microfiber towel to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the wiper arm where the blade attaches.

5. Attach New Blades: Take the new wiper blade and slide the hook end into the wiper arm attachment. Ensure it snaps securely into place.

6. Test and Adjust: Turn the ignition on and activate the windshield wipers to test the new blades. Make sure they wipe smoothly across the windshield and don't leave streaks. Adjust the wiper arms if needed to achieve the desired contact and coverage.

Tips:

- Always check your owner's manual for specific instructions related to your Corolla model.

- If you're experiencing any difficulties, refer to the instructions included with the new wiper blades.

- Regular maintenance and replacement of wiper blades are essential for clear visibility while driving in inclement weather conditions.
