Remove The Old Wiper Insert: Work with one blade at a time using the other as a reference. Remove blade from wiper arm by pushing up on the lever and sliding the arm forward.

Install The New Wiper Insert: Reinstall the ribs into the top grooves of the wiper insert with the bow. Position the notched two-piece Support Ribs with the notches facing inward as to hold the Support Ribs in place during installation, temporarily install the retainer at the locking end. Feed the non-locking end of the assembled insert through the blade claws until the retainer reaches the starting claw.

NOTE: Remove the retainer by pinching its top. Complete installation by engaging starting claw in the rubber lock.

CAUTION: Make sure both ends of the wiper insert are securely engaged in the rib. Tug on the rubber to verify.
