Yay, thank you for answering about those extra parts LOL. I was scratching my head wondering where they went haha. I officially changed my own wipers for the first time! Woo me.
Thank you for these instructions! I appreciate the towel warning. Your tip to listen for the snaps was very helpful. I was able to remove and replace my wipers thanks to your video!
Once I was driving on the highway just after replacing my blades, and one of my brand new blades flew off of my windshield at 60 mph. It happened because when I installed it, I didn't want to break anything by pushing too hard, and I didn't "listen for the snap". 🙃 Nice video.
Just coming on here to thank you for this video. We were at the same spot as Sherry. We didn't know we should pull those two sides outward. After that everything went smooth. All ready to go. Thank you again!
I bought in costco michelin wiper blades, they look different from what you show. Still have to figure out how to install them. Thanks for the video though.
You are welcome. They seem to change the outside plastic each year, I believe they want people to think it is "new and improved." Chances are you have a "J" hook design and your biggest problem will be to break it loose. It usually takes a lot of pulling and wiggling before it lets go. Goo luck!
Thanks! I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers (while wearing leather gloves) to release a clip in the old wiper before it would come off the J hook. New one snapped on easily like in your video.
Thank you so much. Was having the hardest time figuring out if the extra parts were needed but your video helped so much especially because you explained how to put it on step by step. Thank you Thank you and have a great day.
Nice video! For my Subaru Forester I need a 26 inch on the driver's side and a 17 inch on the passenger's side. Are the wipers specific to one side or the other or will a 26 inch size work on either the driver's side or passenger's side?
I believe they are specific to one side or the other. Check your car's handbook regarding wiper blade replacements. If you have lost it, find it on line. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for many helpful bits, like you may have to pull hard, ‘cause I was afraid of breaking something! But when you say "just open this flap…”. I have the identical new Michelin wiper blade, but that flap doesn’t lift up in either direction to save your mother and no round part gets exposed. What about these problems that might happen when it doesn’t all go so simply? These help videos always assume everything goes as it should - in which case I wouldn’t need any damn video! How about a sequel for when this and that doesn’t go so easily??
Sorry you are having such a tough time. At least you did not break your windshield like I did on my first video. Take a look at the ending to my other video, it is more realistic. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LYDlcew2NoM.html
