I am changing the old Rain X Latitude wiper blades for a new pair on my wife's 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The old ones have worn out and need replacing.
Thank you so much for this video! I was going nuts trying to figure out how to install these particular blades. I’ve never had this much difficulty with wiper blades, lol! I scanned the QR code for installation instructions that was on the back of the package that they came in and it instructed me to unsnap the black cover then remove the blue plastic piece that is inside of the new blade. So that’s what I did and I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what I was doing wrong! Watching your video, I realized that I didn’t need to do that with my particular car. Thanks a bunch because I sure was going to send these suckas back, lol!!
Radio King Same here man! I’m not a mechanic by any means but I try and save myself money when it comes to simple maintenance and repair and I COULD NOT figure out how to remove these, and it was only a year ago that I originally installed them! It took me 20 minutes to finally find this video... all because of one tab
Thanks for this demo! Everything else I was finding was only demoing how to install these. But since I got this car from my brother I was not the one that originally installed them. Had no idea how to take these ones off in order to replace them! Your video helped me out so much man!
Just an FYI for anyone else that's confused with rainx's wipers new barebones design... Their new one looks like it's missing a top piece that you're supposed to clip open, but it's not. If it looks like the top piece is missing, just try opening the other side instead.
For this particular wiper, ensure that it is properly seated and then close the locking clip. If it can't clip, add a little more umph! Or try re-intalling the wiper blade
For most common wipers, removal of the wipers require you to lift on a locking tab on the wiper to release it. Once you have done so, it should slide right off the hook.
I would say so, most cars/suv wiper applications are similar if not the same. Just make sure you double check your wiper specifications and buy the right ones. Good luck and let me know if you have other questions.
