Replacing the rear wiper blade

Your rear wiper blade's service life is affected by the water, dirt and debris that it sweeps off your rear windshield. The wiper blade needs to be replaced when it shows signs of wear.
Plastic cover fully raised

Find the plastic cover where the wiper arm attaches to the vehicle. Loosen the side of the cover closest to you first and then the side furthest away from you. Lift the plastic cover all the way. This will give you access to the hose connector.

Disconnecting the hose from the connector

Disconnect the hose from the connector. You might need to wiggle it to get it loose.

Rear wiper fully lifted

Grasp the center of the wiper arm and lift it up and away from the rear windshield. You may feel some resistance halfway – this is the lock position. You need to pull the wiper arm past the lock position so that it doesn't fall back onto the windshield

Pulling the blade down to loosen it

Pull the blade down until it loosens and comes away from the wiper arm.

Pressing the new blade into place

Press the new blade into place until you hear a click.

Check that the blade is firmly attached to the wiper arm.
Rear wiper folded back down

Fold the arm back down against the windshield.

Connecting the hose to the hose connector.

Connect the wiper blade hose to the hose connector. Lower the plastic cover back down.

 Note

Make sure that the hose is positioned so that it doesn't get trapped or pinched when you lower the plastic cover again.
