1. Gather the Necessary Materials:
- New windshield wiper blades (confirm the correct size for your vehicle)
- Clean cloth or paper towel
2. Locate the Windshield Wiper Arms:
- Turn on the ignition of your vehicle and turn on the windshield wipers.
- Once they reach their highest position, turn off the ignition and leave the wipers up. This will give you better access to the wiper arms.
3. Remove the Old Wiper Blades:
- Press the release tab or button on the wiper arm to disengage the wiper blade.
- Once it pops out of the arm, pull it straight up and off the arm.
4. Clean the Wiper Arms:
- Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe the wiper arms and remove any dirt or debris.
- This ensures that the new blades will have a smooth and proper wiping surface.
5. Install the New Wiper Blades:
- Take the new wiper blade and align the hook or connector with the wiper arm.
- Press down on the release tab or button again until you hear a click, indicating that the wiper blade is securely in place.
6. Repeat for the Other Side:
- Repeat the above steps to remove the old wiper blade and install the new one on the other side of the vehicle.
7. Test the Wipers:
- Once both new blades are installed, turn on the ignition and test the windshield wipers by turning them on and off.
- Make sure that they wipe the windshield effectively and do not leave any streaks or gaps.
8. Clean the Windshield:
- Finally, use a glass cleaner and a clean cloth to clean the windshield and remove any dirt, smudges, or fingerprints that may affect visibility.
That's it! By following these steps, you should have successfully replaced the windshield wipers on your 2003 Audi A4.
