Wiper blade replacement If the wiper blades still do not work properly after you clean them, you may need to replace the wiper blade assembly or the blade element. When replacing the wiper blade assembly, blade refill, or wiper arm always use a Motorcraft part or equivalent. NOTE: There are two different length wiper blades on your vehicle. The driver-side wiper blade is 20 inches (50 cm) long, and the passenger-side wiper blade is 17 inches (45 cm) long. Ensure that you install the correct size wiper blade in the correct location. To replace the wiper blades: 1. 2. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield and lock into the service position. Turn the blade at an angle from the wiper arm. Push the lock pin with a screwdriver to relase the blade and pull the wiper blade down toward the windshield to remove it from the arm. Attach a new wiper blade to the wiper arm and press it into place until you hear it click. 3. 304
