Remove the metal stiffeners from the blade rubber and install them in new blades. Plastic locking clip l CAUTION Don't bend or discard the stiffeners. You need to use them again. If the metal stiffeners are switched, the blade's wiping efficiency could be reduced. So don't use the driver's side metal stiffeners on the passenger's side, or vice versa. Be sure to reinstall the metal stiffeners in the new blade rubber so that the curve is the same as it was in the old blade rubber. CAUTION To prevent damage to the windshield, don't let the wiper arm fall on it. 2.
