306 Maintenance Changing rear window wiper blade To replace the rear wiper blade: 1. Grab the wiper arm with one hand close to the arm/blade joint and pull it as far away from the glass as possible. Do not use excessive force because it can break the wiper arm at the heel. Hold it there until the next step. 2. Grab the primary structure of the blade with the other hand close to the arm/blade joint. 3. The wiper arm has a snap retention feature to receive a cross pin from the wiper blade structure. Grip tightly and press on the arm/blade joint from beneath and separate the blade from the arm. Avoid rotating the wiper blade structure and trapping your left hand between the arm and blade. 4. Attach the new wiper to the wiper arm and press it into place until a click is heard. If you find this procedure too difficult, please see your dealer.
